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. 517 3 $aNewspeak in the twenty-first century 606 $aJournalism$xObjectivity$zGreat Britain 606 $aJournalism$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain 606 $aMass media$xObjectivity$zGreat Britain 606 $aMass media$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain 606 $aJournalistic ethics$zGreat Britain 606 $aPress and politics$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y21st century 615 0$aJournalism$xObjectivity 615 0$aJournalism$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMass media$xObjectivity 615 0$aMass media$xSocial aspects 615 0$aJournalistic ethics 615 0$aPress and politics$xHistory 676 $a302.2309051 700 $aEdwards$b David$f1962-$01533543 701 $aCromwell$b David$f1962-$01512566 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785164203321 996 $aNewspeak in the 21st century$93780591 997 $aUNINA
