Made by the Amsterdam broadcasting company Vrije Keijser TV as an answer to the war propaganda that has been churned out by the established media since 11 September. The video looks at the role of the media: 'Present reporting leaves no choice but to be bellicose. Differentiated, thoughtful and sympathetic thoughts are not heard in this war propaganda insanity. The media mobilises the support of the people for the war and in doing so makes itself an accessory. Thinking is dangerous if you have to justify the approaching mass slaughter of civilians. Even if they are only Afghans.'
