Press Reviews

Los Angeles Times
Required reading for broadcasters, journalists, and well-informed citizens.

San Diego Review
Buy it, read it, act on it. Our future depends on the knowledge this collection of suppressed stories allows us.

Library Journal
Carefully orchestrated. . . . This well-researched work is highly recommended for most libraries.

Dead Trees Review
An excellent book that shows just how dumbed down American news media has become. It is eye-opening reading and is highly recommended.
