Disinformation: 22 Media Myths That Undermine the War on Terror

by Richard Miniter Narrated by James Jenner

Overview

New York Times best-selling author Richard Miniter is an award-winning investigative journalist whose insights have shed light on many of todays most vital issues. With Disinformation he takes the popular media to task for the myths they spread about the War on Terror. Miniter has spoken to high-profile sources, sifted through countless information, and traveled the globe to learn that 22 of the most common beliefs about the War on Terror are nothing more than urban legends. If you believe there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, that terrorists are likely to cross the Mexican border into America, that racial profiling of terrorists works, or that Iraq is another Vietnam, then you believe mistruths. Miniter debunks these and other myths put forth by both the liberal and conservative media in this provocative and important work.

Editorial Reviews

AUG/SEP 06 - AudioFile

The subtitle really tells us all we need to know about this book. In exhaustive detail, the author debunks what the media, and talking heads, are peddling as the truth. Narrator James Jenner reads with what can best be described as an "eat your vegetables" voice that grabs us, shakes the lies out of our heads, and deposits us back into our daily lives with the truth. Jenner is insistent, voluble, and gruff, and it's all but impossible to stop listening to him. The biggest issue with his voice, though, is that it takes time to adjust to his pacing and pitch. He also suffers from less than precise enunciation, but these are minor quibbles. R.I.G. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
