Big Lies: The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth

In Big Lies, Joe Conason rips through the ten most damaging lies perpetrated by the right wing propaganda machine. This scathing, fact-filled analysis debunks it all: - The myth that Republicans are fiscal geniuses and champions of free enterprise. - The right's self-proclaimed monopoly on "family values."- The conservative smearing of liberals as unpatriotic and anti-American.- And of course, the "compassionate conservatism" of George W. Bush. (It depends on the meaning of “compassionate.”)Big Lies confronts right-wing slander and bias with a long-awaited, badly-needed counterpunch to the deceptions that have plagued American politics for a generation.
