I’m working on a short book to redpill people on how the media lies intentionally. (Title TBD.) I’m sure it’ll become a series, with how often they lie...
For book #1 I’m only going back to the Iraq War, which started 20 years ago—thanks to the media lie of “Iraq has weapons of mass destruction” - and the manipulation to make people think Iraq was connected to 9/11.
I’m tempted to include things like MSNBC’s “With the money Michael Bloomberg spent on ads to run for president, he could’ve given $1 million dollars to every American!” (It would’ve only been enough for $1.53 per American.)
But I’m focusing on the biggest, most important lies—and ones that were spread by multiple networks—turning into a narrative and perceived fact/reality.
Also shout out to my relevant merch design ‘If the news is fake, imagine the history.’ (Free Substack subscribers get a $5 coupon—$10 for paid subs):
Feel free to comment on Substack with any important lies I forgot. I know there’s plenty of material for an entire book on lies about COVID made by the “brought to you by Pfizer” media. And I might do that :) But I’m trying to keep this 1st book short.
