Written by the Spinsanity.com (RIP) editors, this book tears apart the lies and prevarications told by the Bush administration during the 2000 election campaign and its first term in office. I got the book when it was published in 2004, and it's been interesting to go through it again. (The book finishes with the early stages of the '04 campaign, long before the days of Swiftboating.) You won't find a more non-partisan dissection of Bush's manipulations than you will here; ironically, that is the book's greatest strength as well as its greatest weakness. You almost want some op ed passages to help provide color to the parade of cold hard facts. But if you're after an analysis of Bush's spin machine, it doesn't get any better than this. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
All the President's Spin, the first book from the editors of the acclaimed nonpartisan website Spinsanity, unmasks the tactics of deception and media manipulation that George W. Bush has used to sell his agenda to the American people. From his campaigns for tax cuts to the debate over war in Iraq, President Bush has employed an unprecedented onslaught of half-truths and strategically ambiguous language to twist and distort the facts. Fritz, Keefer, and Nyhan's powerful critique of Bush's record of policy deception explains why the media has failed to hold him accountable and demonstrates the threat these tactics pose to honest political debate. This is the essential book for every citizen who wants to understand how George W. Bush has misled the nation and why, if left unchallenged, all the President's spin could soon become standard practice -- a devastating development for our democracy.
