It's one thing to know every American soldier that has died in the last 90 years has done so to protect the financial interests of people who don't care for him, it's another thing to read a list of receipts that prove the "Liberal media" falls in line with the CIA 100% of the time.

This is one of those books you shouldn't read, because you'll never trust anything ever again. Our institutions are embarrassing. I haven't trusted the news since watching them manipulate Bernie Sanders campaign twice.

Our news exists to sell and justify war. Don't believe me? Watch it. Product demonstrations, business cover, and glorification of "Good guys blowing up things".

A great book about media influence on people's perspective, with all controls it gets from government, media owner, etc. How our mind could easily be manipulate for the sake of few people's benefit. Nice read.

Lots of good information in this book, it’s like it explained things my body already knew through historical context and stats. Took me a while to get through however because the info presented is the uncomfortable, frustrating truth.
