Customer Reviews

The founding in 1777 of the Journal de Paris, Franceâ€™s first daily and distinctly commercial paper, represents an early use of disinformation as a tool for political gain, profit, and societal division. To attract a large readership and bar competition for C.W. Gluckâ€™s works at the Paris OpÃ©ra, it launched a prolonged campaign of anonymous lies, mockery, and defamation against two prominent members of the AcadÃ©mie FranÃ§aise who wished the OpÃ©ra to be open to all deserving composers but lacked a comparable daily forum with which to defend themselves. In this unique episode, music served as a smokescreen for nefarious activity. No musical knowledge is necessary to follow this purely political drama.
