Written during the Reagan administration, it explores some of the ways in which the media works to discredit and disenfranchise the Republican Party and conservatives in general. During the Reagan administration, for example, the media terrified people into thinking that the world was about to be thrown into nuclear war (an idea encouraged by the TV docudrama "The Day After"). During this time, vagrancy was redefined as "homelessness", Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative was dubbed by the media as "Star Wars" and the entire decade was labeled "the decade of greed." What actually happened, of course, is that the Soviet Union fell and the threat of nuclear war diminished. On the other hand, despite 16 years combined rhetoric of Clinton and Obama, "homelessness" is still with us. So is poverty, urban decay and all the other problems liberals claimed to be able to fix. One of the best indicators of just how liberal the media is is obtained by polling members of the media to discern their political affiliation. Invariably, they wildly disproportionately identify as Democrat. None of this has changed since this book was written. If anything, it's only gotten worse."; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 158 pages .
