Nearly half of all Americans have a negative view of the news media.
Only 44% say they can think of a news source that reports the news
objectively, and 66% say news outlets do not do a good job of separating
fact from opinion. Now we have a president who regularly calls
mainstream news outlets “fake news.”
- How did we get here?
- What is fake
news?
- Who is truly to blame?
- Is the label fair?
- What are the spiritual
ramifications of fake news?
These questions and more are addressed in
Culture of Lies.
Culture of Lies documents the history and development of fake
news in America, revealing how Americans are complicit in fostering a
culture of lies. However, truth is not relative, and the spiritual
ramifications of fake news are extensive, making it no over-reaction to
say that fake news should be among our greatest concerns as Christian
citizens.
Featuring over 1,250 footnotes, Culture of Lies catalogs dozens
of examples of fake news reports among respected news outlets while
providing a spiritual perspective to the significance of fake news in
America.
