"Copaganda" is a special kind of propaganda employed by police, prosecutors, and news media. It stokes fear of police-recorded crime and distorts society’s responses to it. As the United States incarcerates five times more people per capita than it did in 1970—despite record low crime rates—a sprawling and profitable punishment bureaucracy spends a lot of time and money to manipulate what we think that bureaucracy does and why.

In Minority Rule, Sarkar exposes how a strategic misdirection of blame over who is really screwing everything up is keeping the majority divided, while the real ruling minority of hedge fund managers, press barons, landlords and corporations remain on top. And it’s facilitating one of the biggest power grabs in history. Most crucially, she shows us how what we really have in common is being concealed by a deafening culture of distraction – and that the first step towards a better future is understanding what is happening now, and how we got here.

In Republican Jesus, Tony Keddie explains not only where this right-wing Christ came from and what he stands for, but also why this version of Jesus is a fraud. By restoring Republicans’ cherry-picked gospel texts to their original literary and historical contexts, Keddie dismantles the biblical basis for Republican positions on hot-button issues like Big Government, taxation, abortion, immigration, and climate change.

Wenn jetzt nicht etwas Grundlegendes geschieht, dann war's das mit der Freiheit. Und nicht die Angriffe ihrer Gegner werden ihr den Garaus machen - die Gleichgültigkeit derer, die sie so lange genossen, wird es tun. Pandemien, Weltkrieg, Klimanotstand: Die Freiheit schwebt in höchster Gefahr. "Freiheitsgesäusel"? "Mehr Diktatur wagen"? Was ist kaputt in den Herzen und Köpfen der vielen, dass sie sich selbst und ihre Freiheit so geringschätzen, ja regelrecht verachten? Warum stimmen sie ihrer eigenen Entrechtung zu und scheinen in ihre Ketten geradezu verliebt.

Agents of Influence reveals the secret history of an intelligence agency gone out of control, accountable to no one but itself and intent on subverting Western politics on a near-inconceivable scale. In 1985, 1,300 KGB officers were stationed in the USA. The FBI only had 350 counter-intelligence officers. Since the early days of the Cold War, the KGB seduced parliamentarians and diplomats, infiltrated the highest echelons of the Civil Service, and planted fake news in papers across the world.

A través del examen de múltiples fuentes Confino, muestra que la Contraofensiva no fue una excepcionalidad o una "aventura mesiánica", sino una estrategia posible en la línea de desarrollo de Montoneros, inseparable de la situación de exilio, de la historia política del país y de la región.

While hardly a new phenomenon, masculinity—which includes elements of toughness, independence, and leadership, among others—roared onto the national political stage in America with the 2016 candidacy, election, and presidency of Donald Trump. Research into masculinity dates back over a century, but little attention has been paid to the specific role of masculinity in politics beyond the conventional wisdom that it, rather than femininity, is the dominant force.

Owner of Harrods, bereaved father of Dodi and instigator of the 'cash for questions' sensation, this book was originally published in 1998 to wide acclaim. But with the recent heinous accusations of sexual misconduct coming to light, this new and updated edition will offer a new focus of Tom Bower's trademark acerbic insight on this controversial figure.

The creators of the internet promised us jetpacks: better experiences, more choices, and deeper relationships. Built on a diversity of voices, our online freedom was supposed to spark a democratic transformation. But our platforms don't work for us—we're the inventory and our outrage fuels a tech revolution optimized for profit, not civic life. As one of the top digital strategists for Barack Obama's two presidential campaigns, Michael Slaby saw the beginning of a new kind of national division.

In Shameless Liars radio talk show host and video podcaster Larry O'Connor details the most egregious examples of media bias, slanted coverage, double standards, journalistic malpractice, and outright propaganda that were on full display during the 2024 election cycle and how Donald Trump triumphed over all of it.

The early 1990s climate of despair was weaponized by con men, conspiracists and racists – notably the former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan David Duke – both in the wider culture and at the ballot box. In other words, they sought to ‘break the clock’ of progress and ‘repeal the twentieth century’. They gave Americans’ resentment a shape and direction, and forged a new kind of paranoid, conspiratorial politics where harmless roguishness and vicious hate became mixed up, as well as declaring a culture war on liberal elites.

For centuries, we’ve been persuaded to trust the lies told by our governments, businesses, and religions to manage how we think and act, to their benefit, not ours. Filled with real-life examples, Theater of Lies demonstrates the impact lies and misinformation have had through the centuries and today on topics including racism, gender debates, entrenched political divides, and the status of women.

How is popular knowledge of war shaped by the stories we consume, what are the boundaries of this knowledge, and how are these boundaries policed or contested by journalists producing knowledge from war zones? Based on years of fieldwork in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Ukraine, Conflicted challenges normative conceptions of war by revealing how representational authority comes to be.

Quizás sea en política donde el desarrollo de este fenómeno asentado en la última década en Occidente resulta más llamativo. Una representante pública entiende la destrucción de las infraviviendas de las personas sin hogar como un acto autopromocional. Otra aumenta su aceptación popular tras calificar de «mantenidos subvencionados» a los desfavorecidos afectados por una pandemia. Un alcalde se jacta de que no hará nada en absoluto por aquellos estudiantes y trabajadores que no pueden acceder a una vivienda digna en la ciudad que él gestiona.

A partir de casos reales y contemporáneos, la ganadora del Premio de la Paz de los Libreros Alemanes 2024 y del Premio Pulitzer 2004, Anne Applebaum, demuestra en Autocracia S.A. que no hay un único líder al frente de las dictaduras, sino unas sofisticadas redes compuestas por estructuras financieras cleptocráticas, dudosos servicios de seguridad y propagandistas profesionales.

In Propaganda Wars: How the Global Elite Control What You See, Think, and Feel, New York Times bestselling writers Glenn Beck and Justin Haskins uncover the secrets behind the greatest system of control and manipulation ever created.

Cable news TV anchor Bianca De La Garza reports the news every day, twice a day. She’s a journalist and a commentator, a conservative, a Christian, and a mom. The news is ugly, frightening, violent, insane, and relentless. Those in power are corrupt. The corporate media is corrupt. Corporate America is corrupt. Every day there is reason to despair. Yet every day there is also reason to hope. As Bianca reports daily and writes in this book, the foundation of America is stronger than the evil that attacks her every day. Conservative Americans must face this evil head on, and not back down.

In 2018, Russian exile Sergei Skripal and his daughter were nearly killed in an audacious poisoning attempt in Salisbury, England. Soon, the identity of one of the suspects was revealed: he was a Russian spy. This huge investigative coup wasn’t pulled off by an intelligence agency or a traditional news outlet. Instead, the scoop came from Bellingcat, the open-source investigative team that is redefining the way we think about news, politics, and the digital future. We Are Bellingcat tells the inspiring story of how a college dropout pioneered a new category of reporting.

From the popular and award-winning staff writer for The Atlantic, an eye-opening look at how the current media landscape has incentivized us to see our fellow citizens as characters in an ongoing entertainment—and how we can fight back against this phenomenon.
