Lies, Incorporated: The World of Post-Truth Politics by Ari Rabin-Havt and Media Matters (2016)
Fake news seems to be getting a lot of attention. Unfortunately, some of the independent legitimate news — the best, most accurate, truth to power kind of news from the Internet has deliberately been cast in the with the actual fake news, and I mean really fake, not just Faux News fake. The crap they spew can be identified as such if you read books, newspapers, or have an actual lived experience in the real world. But this book says it is not about those kinds of lies, it is about the lies
are the ones many politicians fully believe to be true — ones that have been passed to them by a staffer, a constituent, or a lobbyist. Those lies, sometimes repeated without intent, are designed to DISTORT THE POLICY MAKING PROCESS. Dig deep enough and you find an industry dedicated to the creation of lies and a group of people who profit from them. They are Lies, Incorporated.
