(Barbara Ehrenreich)
"Media critics John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton would like American consumers to become better spin detectors. Behind much of what we read in newspapers or hear on TV, they say, are not cold, hard facts, but public relations specialists who are masters at 'spin control', directing what information is presented, by whom, and in what context."The authors have a website: PR Watch / The Center For Media & Democracy
