The Smear   

 How Shady Political Operatives 

 and Fake News CONTROL 

 What You See, What You Think, 

 and HOW YOU VOTE. 

 by Sharyl Attkisson 

   Since we can't violate Copyright laws - assuming we lowly bloggers are obliged - we're suggesting you get this informative book by award-winning, investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson.  

   She wouldn't mind if we tell you what's in it. Everything written or said is for a purpose, an agenda, she writes.

   She delves into polls ("astroturf"), collusion, Wikileaks, PR firms, super PACs, nonprofits, communications strategists, fake-news purveyors, 9/11, Sandy Hook, Olympic banking, Baltimore, Rolling Stone and political operatives posing as journalists.

   How about some names: Goebbels, JFK, Dan Rather, Hillary Clinton, Michael Brown, Brian Williams, Ben Rhodes, Barack Obama, George Stephanopoulos, Jeff Bezos and - don't miss this guy - David Brock. 

   There's more: Russian interference, media sins, Fusion GPS, donor money, Google, false blogger names (like Jimmy Donut?), Snopes, the internet, Twitter and Facebook. 

   Attkisson points out that a lie told a thousand times becomes truth.

   You have made known to me the path of life; 

you will fill me with joy in your presence, 

with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
