Exposes the aggressive public relations campaign used to sell the American public on the war with Iraq. Fascinating and depressing at the same time!
"Media critics John Stauber and Sheldo Rampton would like American consumers to become better spin detectors. Behind much of what we read in newspapers or see on TV, they say, are not cold, hard facts, but public relations specialists, who are masters at 'spin control', directing what information is presented, by whom, and in what context." -Anita Manning, USA Today.
