No one is spared, and all sacred cows are candidates for the grinder.\nDo you believe any of the following?\nAlcoholics Anonymous is effective. Hackers pose a grave threat to the nation. There's a hidden code in the Bible. The Big Bang is an airtight fact. Thousands of species have gone extinct because of deforestation. Licking certain toads will get you high. Most terrorists are Middle Eastern.\n\nWake up! You're being lied to.\nThis book acts as a battering ram against the distortions, myths, and outright lies that have been shoved down our throats by the government, the media, corporations, organized religion, the scientific establishment, and others who want to keep the truth from us. An unprecedented group of researchers--investigative reporters, political dissidents, academics, media watchdogs, scientist-philosophers, social critics, and rogue scholars--paints a picture of a world where crucial stories are ignored or actively suppressed and the official version of events has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. A world where real dangers are downplayed and nonexistent dangers are trumpeted. In short, a world where you are being lied to.\nAmong the revelations inside:\nPulitzer Prize-winning reporter Sydney Schanberg on John McCain's efforts to conceal information on POW\/MIAs Howard Bloom on liars in the media Riane Eisler on the realities of human nature James Ridgeway on tainted blood and more Jim Marrs on missing evidence in important cases Greenpeace cofounder Peter Moore on environmental myths Michael Parenti on atrocities in Kosovo Douglas Rushkoff on the information arms race Gary Webb on the gutless corporate media Howard Zinn on Columbus\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0966410076\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKTGN0039MJ_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kick, Russ\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
