Making the News Fit Movie Review 1986

Media coverage on the war in El Salvador is examined, focusing on the role government (U.S.) has in defining the news, the hostility faced by journalists when they do not report what the government wants to hear, and the amount of nongovernment viewpoints that make it into print or on the air.
