Companies inflate claims about their products and practices.       Institutions release studies with misleading data meant to deceive. Police       departments, infected by systemic racism, downplay crimes against Indigenous       and racialized people.              "The public depends on the media to help them understand the world, but are       journalists catching all the daily lies, omissions, and distortions? Shrinking       newsrooms and an army of spin doctors mean journalists can get duped. Despite       valiant efforts by a handful of investigative journalists, the truth is       routinely left behind.              "Award-winning journalist Cecil Rosner insists there is something we can do       about this. We can pressure news organizations to stop blindly regurgitating       the firehose of press releases and focus instead on determining what is       actually true. Rosner empowers readers by sharing his techniques for detecting       misinformation and disinformation.              ISBN 9781459751255              Support a local bookshop of your choice:       https://bookshop.org/a/93260/9781459751255                     --- OpenXP 5.0.57        * Origin: Mobile?
