Description
The author, founder of the Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-checking website PolitiFact, draws on nearly 20 years of journalistic experience to reveal the patterns of political lies, why Republicans do more of it, and the frightening consequences for our democracy. This book goes behind the scenes of campaigns, to show the cynical calculations of officials who have accepted lying as a routine weapon in daily political battles. Showing that political lying began long before Trump, the author explores how Republicans have changed the landscape to allow their lies to intimidate the news media, people in academia, and the ordinary citizen. A pioneer in political fact-checking, the author is uniquely qualified to offer practical solutions that could actually address the dishonesty at the center of American politics.
