Written in 2007, it has only become more relevant in the past few years. Good tips on sluthing out facts in the modern world. Needs an update, though! ( )

This was an informative read. It was interesting, and it was also written well and was easy to understand and fun to read. I would recommend it to everyone. ( )

Excellent. This is what "fair and balanced" really means. At least two examples for nearly every trap (elephants and donkeys). ( )

Excellent tool for sorting disinformation from truth in the modern world ( )

The anecdotes and examples are fascinating but the hidden message of this book is that Americans, by and large, have stopped thinking. We've come to accept anything that comes out of the TV, internet and news media in all it's forms as the truth largely because we can't be bothered to take the time to think and search for the facts behind the spin, half-truths and out 'n' out lies. If nothing else, this books points out the need for a return to common sense and healthy skepticism without cynicism. ( )
