In this episode:
The headline read: "Iraqi soldiers murder Kuwaiti babies" - after this report, the US Senate voted in favor of an attack on Iraq in 1990. A lie, as it later turns out, atrocity propaganda, as it had already been successful in the First World War. When the first bombs fall on Baghdad shortly afterward, the consequences of the attacks remain invisible to the world public. All representations of the war are staged or censored.
Propaganda has been used to shape opinion ever since people have ruled over people. In times of war, it is at its best. It is used to demoralize the enemy, to fire up one's own troops, and to fire up the home front. In war propaganda, words and images become weapons that are used at least as ruthlessly as the bombs and machine guns on the real battlefield. The first victim is always the truth. Manipulation, deception, and lies are the tools of every war propagandist.
"Fake War " is a documentary series that tells the story of modern war propaganda - from the first major use of the new mass media in the First World War, its perfection by the Nazis in the Second World War, the consequences of uncensored reporting from Vietnam and the staged battles in the Gulf to the perfidious terror propaganda of the IS and today's information war in the mass media and social networks.
