Weapons of Mass Deception - How Right-wing Media Wage Information Warfare and Undermine American Democracy

Weapons of Mass Deception reveals how many right-wing media outlets function as political organizations, advancing political agendas on behalf of their wealthy owners.

In an era of widespread mistrust of the US democratic processes, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the tremendous influence of the right-wing media sphere on American politics.
