Publisher's summary
This is a no-holds barred account of how the media in Quebec, Canada, along with government authority agencies, amplified rumor and innuendo to hold a kangaroo court aimed at destroying the business, reputation, and life of Marcel Pontbriand.
It is Part Deux of the Cowboy of the Road Series, because it focuses on the French-Canadian back-story of how sensationalism resulted in an emotional rollercoaster that destroyed the lives of many Quebec families.
The avalanche of lies lands on the shoulders of many Quebecers, and the media's crafting of censorious articles and broadcasts creates what is termed: Full-Blown Fake News.
Armed with deceptive influence, you will listen about the edgy journalists who fabricate, exaggerate, and twist the truth. Authorities play a major role in family destruction with their cat and mouse antics.
Heed this warning: Cowboy of the Road, Full-Blown Fake News: Setting The Record Straight pulls no punches and separates the bull***t from the truth, or to be more politely stated; separates the wheat from the chaff.
This book is one of the most emotional testimonies that I have ever applied pen to paper to reveal and share. You will listen about accusations that are unjust, media reports that are simply unbelievable, and be presented with so-called evidence that is totally untrue.
Let's get started on this path of deception, darkness, and despicability.

In late 2006, Saket Soni, a 28-year-old, Indian-born community organizer received an anonymous phone call from an Indian migrant worker inside a Mississippi labor camp. He and 500 other men were living in squalor in Gulf Coast “man camps,” surrounded by barbed wire, watched by armed guards, crammed into cold trailers with putrid portable toilets, forced to eat moldy bread and frozen rice. Worse, lured by the promise of good work and green cards, the men had desperately scraped together up to $20,000 each to apply for this “opportunity”.

When Mary met Will Jordan online, she was a single mother who’d given up trying to find Mr Right. And yet here he suddenly was: articulate and attractive, with a fascinating background. Soon they were in love, and when he proposed after a month it seemed recklessly romantic. Caught up in a whirlwind, Mary accepted that Will’s work often took him away from home, out of contact. She was his rock, supporting him emotionally when a misunderstanding led to criminal charges, and even selling everything when blackmailers threatened to kidnap their children. Together, they took on the world.

Story
The death of promising young pediatric AIDS researcher Eric Miller stunned the Raleigh, North Carolina, community, largely because of the horrific way he was killed. For months, Eric was slowly tortured as arsenic consumed his body. No one thought that Eric Miller's wife, Ann - an attractive, demure, educated scientist - could be capable of such a horrible crime. No one except for veteran homicide investigator Chris Morgan, a man in the twilight of his career. But from the moment Morgan saw the 30-year-old widow in the police department interview room, he knew he was seeing pure evil.

Stephen A. Smith has never been handed anything, nor was he an overnight success. Growing up poor in Queens, the son of Caribbean immigrants and the youngest of six children, he was a sports-obsessed kid who faced struggles, from undiagnosed dyslexia to getting enough cereal to fill his bowl. As a basketball player at Winston-Salem State University, he got a glimmer of his true calling when he wrote a newspaper column arguing for the retirement of his own Hall of Fame coach, Clarence Gaines.

Story
It was a bleak November in 2012 when Cari Lea Farver vanished from Omaha, Nebraska. Cari, 37, was a devoted mother, reliable employee, and loyal friend - not the type to shirk responsibilities, abandon her son, and run off on an adventure while her dying father took his last breaths. Yet, the many texts from her phone indicated she had done just that. While Cari's boyfriend, Dave Kroupa, and her supervisor were bewildered by her abrupt disappearance, they accepted the texts at face value. Her mother, Nancy Raney, however, was alarmed and reported Cari missing.

Story
With Normal Gets You Nowhere, Kelly Cutrone invites us to get our freak on. History is full of successful, world-changing people who did not fit in. Think Nelson Mandela, Joan of Arc, Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, John Lennon, and Rosa Parks. Instead of changing themselves to accommodate the status quo or what others thought they should be, these people hung a light on their differences - and changed humanity in the process. “I know you don’t feel normal, so why are you trying to act it and prove to everyone you are?” Cutrone says.

No words......
I know most of these people personally. As a father and a husband, I was literally brought to tears with the injustice these people have lived through. As a libertarian in general, I could not fathom the cruelty put upon these good people who just want to live their lives the way they choose. You can be told about their situation and really feel for them, but until you've learned it all you can't fully understand. Weather you know these people or not, it's a compelling tale of how far media and govornment will go to cover up the truth.

Media Attack!
It is hard to believe that the media in Quebec (or anywhere else) would have so much power and be able to ruin people's lives. This book is a well-researched expose' of just how horrible it can be to suffer through the lies of those practicing yellow journalism. It also serves as a wake-up call to anyone who blindly accepts whatever the media says.
If I had not personally experienced a small taste of this type of attack in my own life, I might think that this was an embellished story. Instead, I can say that conspiracies like this do occur (unfortunately) and it takes a lot to make peace with it.
The author has done a great job in presenting the facts in this case and the narrator added a lot to the book with his performance. I was given the chance to listen to this audiobook by the author/narrator/publisher and chose to review it.

Truth is Stranger Than Fiction!
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this second book in the series as I find Val & Marcel's life story so intriguing! It is truly frightening the power the press has, and how willing people are to believe every word they print. I am not a conspiracy theorist but I do try to be a realist. To think such things do not go on is to be completely naive. Very much looking forward to the conclusion in book 3 of the series!
