935 Lies by Charles Lewis
An examination of the consequences of decades of government and corporate deception from a renowned investigative journalist, Washington insider, and founder of the centre for Public Integrity.
"Charles Lewis probably did more than anyone else to launch institutional nonprofit journalism in AmericaSo it is worth paying attention to what he has to say... His reflections, especially on network television, point up the inherent limits of our largest legacy news organizations and embody the hope that new entrants will fill the gaps in newsgathering and, thereby, enlarge the public's capacity for democratic governance."--the Wall Street Journal "935 LIES provides a powerful survey of the quest for truth amid an explosion of mis-information and misinterpretations in everything from news reporting by traditional TV media to paid lobbyists, advocates, the Internet, and more. The truth becomes even more confusing and impossible under such an onslaught, and 935 Lies explores the many ways truth is manipulated by business and political interests alike. Any college-level reader concerned with the evolving world of disinformation will find this a powerful revealing study." --Midwest Book Review "At a time when truth is under siege, acclaimed investigative reporter Charles Lewis has given us a gripping insider's guide to a new journalistic ecosystem which is exposing lies, greed, and abuses of power across the globe. For citizens everywhere who care about truth-telling and holding those in power accountable." --Katrina vanden Heuvel, Editor and publisher of The Nation "Though people in Washington lie all the time, the word 'lie' is very rarely used. In 935 Lies, veteran investigative journalist Chuck Lewis reminds us, in vivid detail, of the many times government leaders and corporations have lied to us and sought to muscle the news business to keep it from exposing the truth. Don't read it and weep ... read it and get angry!" --Ray Suarez, Host, Inside Story, Al Jazeera America
