About this title

Synopsis

What are we to believe and whom should we trust?

We live in an age of disinformation, misinformation, and outright lies. They blast you with information, talking points, spin, advertising, and attempts to persuade. They provoke you with anger because fear-filled people are easier to manipulate. The tricks, tools and tactics used to influence you and your loved ones—along with the history of propaganda—explained and explored.

Examining the history of propaganda and disinformation in war, politics, polling, media, entertainment, cults, advertising, science, medicine, today’s media landscape, and even in our personal interactions, Disinformation and You: Identify Propaganda and Manipulation helps you spot and counter the seductive and deceptive tactics to influence individual behavior. It provides helpful suggestions and tips for identifying disinformation and fighting back against manipulation and censorship.
