UPCOMING BOOK EVENT
Syndicated columnist Norman Solomon (“Media Beat”) is the founder of the Institute for Public Accuracy. His new book, War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death (John Wiley & Sons) argues that, however deceptive, the Bush administration’s pre-invasion propagandizing was hardly new. In August, Solomon will track the perennial tides and formulaic quality of American war propaganda at these Bay Area bookstores:
