In today's post-truth political landscape, there is a carefully concealed but ever-growing industry of organized misinformation that exists to create and disseminate lies in the service of political agendas. Ari Rabin-Havt and Media Matters for America present a revelatory history of this industry - which they've dubbed Lies, Incorporated - and show how it has crippled legislative progress on issues including tobacco regulation, public health care, climate change, gun control, immigration, abortion, and same-sex marriage.
Eye opening and indispensable, Lies, Incorporated takes an unflinching look at the powerful network of politicians and special interest groups that have launched coordinated assaults on the truth to shape American politics.

Critic reviews
definitely good and important info
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The author brings out some of the most outragious lies made of recent, shows with clear examples and different references that these lies have been debunked, yet the liars gain credibility, money, and prestige.
No one is under oath, so lying becomes the norm. It is a world were soundbites and sensationalism makes the news. There is so much BS out there, the author focuses on just some of it, and those that perpetrate it.
I wish the author brought out some more of the highly dubious and questionable issues presented to us as facts, but all in all a great read.
We live in a world controlled by lies

Claims Fox News is the first television network created
to promote the interest of one political party. Two problems: 1) Every other media organization has been the house organ of the Democratic party since 1960. 2) Those of us who voted for Trump did so despite his affiliation with the Democrat-lite party aka Republican party. Fox is center-right at best.
Thank goodness the lie factories of the Regressive Left are being opposed! What this Leftist lackey calls Lies Incorporated I call an overdue self-defensive action of the beleaguered victims of the actual Lies Incorporated machine of the trillion dollar Regressive Left.
