Description - Don't Get Fooled Again by Richard Wilson
Why is it that, time and again, intelligent, educated people end up falling for ideas that turn out to be nonsense? We live in a supposedly rational age, yet crazy notions seem increasingly mainstream. New Age peddlers claim to cure AIDS with vitamin tablets. Media gatekeepers stoke panic and regurgitate corporate press releases in the name of balance. Wild-eyed men in sandwich boards blame it all on the CIA. But while it may be easier than ever for nonsense to spread, it's never been simpler to fight back. Don't Get Fooled Again offers practical tools for cutting through the claptrap and unravelling the spin tackling propaganda, the psychology of deception, pseudo-news, bogus science, the weird cult of 'AIDS reappraisal', numerous conspiracy theories, and much more. Richard Wilson's book is user-friendly, enjoyable, shot through with polemic and argues forcefully for a positive solution. Don't be a cynic, be a sceptic!
