The Five Biggest Fibs in American Politics: How the Pundits, the Press and the Politicians Get it All Wrong

0/5 ( ratings)

Everything you think you know about politics is wrong, when viewed with the lens of history. So says podcaster and politics junkie Bruce Carlson. In this book, Carlson takes issue with some very common assertions that don't hold up. Is there really more money in politics now than in the 19th century? Does the President actually create jobs? Did the "Founding Fathers" say any one thing? Was there a magic time when the media was objective? No, Carlson says, to these 'fibs' and more. And he does so while telling intriguing stories that take the reader back through American history. Stories that, listeners of his "My History Can Beat Up Your Politics" Podcast will know, he is particularly able to tell.
