After years of working as a respected journalist, Nick Davies broke
the unwritten rule of the media by investigating the practices of
his fellow colleagues. In this eye-opening expose, Davies uncovers
an industry awash in corruption and bias. His findings include the
story of a prestigious Sunday newspaper that allowed the CIA to
plant fiction in its columns; the newsroom that routinely rejects
stories about black people; the respected paper that hired a
professional fraudster to set up a front company to entrap senior
political figures; as well as a number of newspapers that pay cash
bribes to bent detectives. His research also exposes a range of
national stories that were in fact pseudo events manufactured by
the public relations industry and global news stories that were
fiction generated by a machinery of international propaganda. The
degree to which the media industry has affected government policy
and perverted popular belief is also addressed. Gripping and
though-provoking, this is an insider's look at one of the world's
most tainted professions.
