Free Speech or Propaganda?: How the Media Distorts the Truth

Are You Being Brainwashed? Do you believe most of what you hear on radio and television news and what you read in the newspaper? If so, you are like the majority of Americans, according to a Gallup poll. Yet, news reporters have become social engineers, says Marlin Maddoux. They are no longer presenting the facts. Did you know, for instance, that ABC News staged a scene with someone who looked like American diplomat Felix Block? He handed a briefcase to another actor who was posing as a KGB agent. Or did you know that CBS News faked battle footage and gave false news accounts of the war in Afghanistan on at least four occasions? Fake news. Selective coverage. Advocacy journalism. That's how the American press is distorting the news. You and I are the victims. Our attitudes and beliefs are being formed by lies. In Free Speech or Propaganda?, Marlin Maddoux shows us how the media distorts the news - and then tells us how to decipher truth in the midst of media bias.
