The media responses, collected in Newspeak, are an expose of the arrogance and servility to power of our leading journalists and editors, starring Andrew Marr, Alan Rusbridger, Roger Alton, Jon Snow, Jeremy Bowen and even George Monbiot. Picking up where the highly acclaimed and successful Guardians of Power (2006) left off, Newspeak is packed with forensic media analysis, revealing the lethal bias in "balanced"; reporting. Even the "best"; UK media -- the Guardian, the Independent, Channel 4 News and the BBC -- turn out to be cheerleaders for government, business and war. Alongside an A-Z of BBC propaganda and chapters on Iraq and climate change, Newspeak focuses on the demonisation of Iran and Venezuela, the Israel-Palestine conflict, the myth of impartial reporting and the dark art of smearing dissidents.Newspeak in the twenty-first centuryJournalismObjectivityGreat BritainJournalismSocial aspectsGreat BritainMass mediaObjectivityGreat BritainMass mediaSocial aspectsGreat BritainJournalistic ethicsGreat BritainPress and politicsGreat BritainHistory21st centuryElectronic books.JournalismObjectivityJournalismSocial aspectsMass mediaObjectivityMass mediaSocial aspectsJournalistic ethicsPress and politicsHistory302.2309051Edwards David1962-916411Cromwell David1962-916412MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460334003321Newspeak in the 21st century2149339UNINA
