Misinforming A Nation (1917)

Misinforming A Nation is a book written by Willard Huntington Wright and published in 1917. The book is a scathing critique of the American press, which Wright argues is rife with misinformation and propaganda. Wright argues that the press is controlled by a small group of wealthy individuals who use it to further their own interests, often at the expense of the public. He cites numerous examples of news stories that were either fabricated or distorted in order to serve the interests of the press owners. Wright also argues that the press is responsible for creating a culture of fear and paranoia among the American people, which has led to a decline in democracy and an increase in authoritarianism. The book is a call to action for Americans to demand a free and independent press that is accountable to the public, rather than to a small group of wealthy individuals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
