Fake News: Getting Faker
https://www.amazon.com/American-Pravda-Fight-Truth-Fake/dp/1250154642/
The one real difference between the American press and the Soviet
state newspaper Pravda was that the Russian people knew they were
being lied to. To expose the lies our media tell us today,
controversial journalist James Oâ??Keefe created Project Veritas, an
independent news organization whose reporters go where traditional
journalists dare not.
Their investigative workâ??equal parts James Bond, Mike Wallace, and
Saul Alinskyâ??has had a consistent and powerful impact on its targets.
In American Pravda, the reader is invited to go undercover with these
intrepid journalists as they infiltrate political campaigns, unmask
dishonest officials and expose voter fraud. A rollicking adventure
story on one level, the book also serves as a treatise on modern
media, arguing that establishment journalists have a vested interest
in keeping the powerful comfortable and the people misinformed.
The book not only contests the false narratives frequently put forth
by corporate media, it documents the consequences of telling the truth
in a world that does not necessarily want to hear it. Oâ??Keefeâ??s
enemies attack with lawsuits, smear campaigns, political prosecutions,
and false charges in an effort to shut down Project Veritas. For
Oâ??Keefe, every one of these attacks is a sign of success.
American Pravda puts the myths and misconceptions surrounding
Oâ??Keefeâ??s activities to rest and will make you rethink every word you
hear and read in the so-called mainstream press.
