In this episode:
The Vietnam War is considered the first "television war" in history. For the first time, uncensored moving images of the war reached almost every private household. Worldwide protests helped to end the war. From the point of view of the US military, this was a defeat caused by the media. Strict rules have applied to war reporting ever since.
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 spur the home front to persevere. 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.
