The western "corporate" mass media seems to be more concerned about protecting special interests than is disseminating good, unbiased information. This book goes over different conflict areas (South Africa, Middle East, etc) comparing how certain events were reported by the corporate media, and what actually happened. It shows how what we see, read and hear are all highly edited and spun by those that want to obscure the truth. An absolutely fantastic book. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind having their eyes opened.
