    About this audiobook

    Facts are and must be the coin of the realm in a democracy. Unfortunately, for citizens in the United States and throughout the world, distinguishing between fact and fiction—always a formidable challenge—is now more difficult than ever, as a constant stream of questionable information pours into media outlets.

    In 935 Lies, Charles Lewis reminds us of the history of public dishonesty in the United States, from President Lyndon B. Johnson’s cover-up of the real motives behind the Vietnam War, to George W. Bush’s public rationales for military action in Iraq and Afghanistan, and how courageous investigative journalists stood up to power to bring truth to light. He then explores the implications for today: what are the root causes and consequences of this kind of mass deception?

    Lewis argues forcefully that while data points and factoids abound, it is much harder to get to the whole truth of complex issues in time for that truth to guide citizens, voters, and decision-makers.

      Interesting book about how the American People are constantly told lies by the government and corporations. The author discusses the impact on "truth telling" that has come about due to the reduction in the number of newspapers and the fact that news media companies have gone public and must keep their stock holders satisfied. The book title, "935 Lies," refers to the number of lies about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction told by President George W. Bush and his advisors, Powell, Rumsfield, Fleischer, Wolfowitz, Rice, Cheney, and McClellan from September 2001 to September 2003.
