unSpun: Finding Facts in a World of Disinformation Summary:
|
Americans are bombarded daily with mixed messages, half-truths, misleading statements, and out-and-out fabrications masquerading as facts. The news mediaûonce the vaunted watchdogs of our republicûare often too timid or distracted to identify these deceptions. unSpun is the secret decoder ring for the twenty-first-century world of disinformation. Written by Brooks Jackson and Kathleen Hall Jamieson, the founders of the acclaimed website FactCheck.org, unSpun reveals the secrets of separating facts from disinformation, such as: ò the warning signs of spin, hype, and bogus news ò common tricks used to deceive us ò how to find trustworthy and objective sources of information Telling fact from fiction shouldnÆt be a difficult task. With this book and a healthy dose of skepticism, anyone can cut through the haze of biased media reportage to be a savvier consumer and a better-informed citizen. |
