Do you really trust your news? How can you be sure its all true? What if they just made it up so you would go along with whatever you are doing? Or even worse, what if the news reporters were given the wrong news? What if they thought it was true and they told you, creating news on events that never even existed? Your first question to something like that would by why. Now what if the answer to Why was because they didn’t want you pay attention to what was really happening. In the movie Wag the Dog they do just that. It is a movie about a Presidential race. The sitting President has brought a young girl into a room, and has had relations with her. The news is leaking fast about the affair, and the President may loose his re-election if the story becomes national news. The President is in China right now and cannot comment or defend himself. He merely relies on his campaign commercials that repeat his slogan. “You don’t change horses in midstream.” This is supposed to say that it would be just stupid to go for someone else when the current President is doing fine. So while the President is gone he relies on Conrad Brean and Winifred Ames to save his reputation and create a cover up for what he has done.
