Synopsis
Sheriff West and his deputies in their F-150s escorted me to a godforsaken spot sixty miles southeast of El Paso. In his Texas bowl hat and deeply lived-in jeans, the man seemed to have stepped right out of Central Casting. Never less than poker-faced, the good sheriff said no more than he had to, and when he did speak it was to the point. "You're an idiot," West said to me casually in his monotone Tex-Mex drawl as I scanned the border country through a pair of binoculars. "Why's that?" I answered, not knowing which of a dozen likely responses I might provoke. "For doing this," he said. The "this" in question was crossing the Rio Grande dressed as Osama bin Laden. "The U.S. government is going to come after you big time." Soon enough, customs agents in airports across North America would prove that the sheriff understood the ways of government much better than I did. Book jacket., The one real difference between the American press and the Soviet state newspaper Pravda was that the Russian people knew they were being lied to. To expose the lies our media tell us today, controversial journalist James O'Keefe created Project Veritas, an independent news organization whose reporters go where traditional journalists dare not. Their investigative work-equal parts James Bond, Mike Wallace, and Saul Alinsky--has had a consistent and powerful impact on its targets. In American Pravda , the reader is invited to go undercover with these intrepid journalists as they infiltrate political campaigns, unmask dishonest officials and expose voter fraud. A rollicking adventure story on one level, the book also serves as a treatise on modern media, arguing that establishment journalists have a vested interest in keeping the powerful comfortable and the people misinformed. The book not only contests the false narratives frequently put forth by corporate media, it documents the consequences of telling the truth in a world that does not necessarily want to hear it. O'Keefe's enemies attack with lawsuits, smear campaigns, political prosecutions, and false charges in an effort to shut down Project Veritas. For O'Keefe, every one of these attacks is a sign of success. American Pravda puts the myths and misconceptions surrounding O'Keefe's activities to rest and will make you rethink every word you hear and read in the so-called mainstream press.

    how to help defeat the news media stranglehold

    O'Keefe shows what is going on today and how to be a citizen journalist. It's like The Matrix out there. The major news business just repeats press releases and how they attack the messengers when they deliver the real reporting.

    O'Keefe tells it like it is in a bluster-free manner!

    It is refreshing that there are writers who seek the truth over sensation for a change. Scary headlines sell a lot of books and disappoint a lot of readers. This book is not in the latter category.
