Rating: Summary: Recommended reading for students of history & politics Review: You Are Being Lied To: The Disinformation Guide To Media Distortion, Historical Whitewashes And Cultural Myths is an iconoclastic, 399-page expose of some of our most cherished cultural, political, social, and institutionally cherished errors of fact. Here revealed is the often times startling truth about our most commonly held mistaken beliefs ranging from errors of science (the "Big Bang" is not an airtight fact); to religion (there is no hidden code in the Bible); to national security (hackers do not pose a grave threat to the nation and most terrorists are not Middle Eastern); to medicine (Alcoholics Anonymous is far from being as effective as popular opinion supposes); to the environment (thousands of species have not become extinct because of deforestation). This amazing, candid, and documented compilation of essays offer a number of experts on a vast spectrum of issues ranging from Noam Chomsky on news as propaganda and media as big business to Greenpeace cofounder Patrick Moore on environmental myths. You Are Being Lied To is enthusiastically recommended reading for students of history, politics, popular culture, media, education, science, environmental studies, and virtually all the major social issues of the day.
