Description
Now in paperback, the bestselling book that exposed the Bush administration's manipulation of the media is poised to enlighten a newly energised audience. The 2006 midterm elections sent a clear signal to the power brokers in Washington: Americans are cutting through the static created by the White House demanding an end to the lies, killing and torture. In this incisive and riveting book, David and Amy Goodman break this layer of static to present the voices of dissidents, activists and others who are too often frozen out of the official debate.
