Exposing the liberal media as cheerleaders for government, business and war

NEWSPEAK in the 21st Century Zusammenfassung

NEWSPEAK in the 21st Century David Edwards

Media Lens' mission is to correct the distorted vision of the liberal media. A thorn in the side of the Guardian, Independent, Channel 4 and the BBC, among many others, it is constantly under counterfire by those it attacks.

These responses are collected in Newspeak. They expose the arrogance and servility to power of our leading journalists and editors, starring Andrew Marr, Alan Rusbridger, Roger Alton, Jon Snow, Jeremy Bowen and even George Monbiot.

Packed with forensic media analysis, revealing the lethal bias in 'balanced' reporting. Even the 'best' UK media turn out to be cheerleaders for government, business and war.

Alongside an A-Z of BBC propaganda and chapters on Iraq and climate change, Newspeak focuses on the demonisation of Iran and Venezuela, the Israel-Palestine conflict, the myth of impartial reporting and the dark art of smearing dissidents.

'Media Lens is doing an outstanding job of pressing the mainstream media' -- Edward S. Herman
'In telling us the unvarnished truth, Media Lens is the best thing to happen to the British media for as long as I can remember' -- John Pilger
