The True Story of Fake News: How Mainstream Media Manipulates Millions

I took a gamble and purchased three of Mark's books, not knowing if they were going to be good or not. I watch his YouTube videos and enjoy them very much, so I was hopeful. He did not disappoint. Very well written; up there with John Stossel and Tucker Carlson and Ann Coulter. I read this book in less than a day. An easy read, but highly informative. What is so surprising to me is that Mark wrote/published this book in 2017. It could have been written today and could not be more relevant. I look forward to reading the other two books I have, and will donate them when done to my local library for others to enjoy. Btw, the last chapter: "Conclusion," made me want to cry. Thank you, Mark. We need people like you to be at the helm of our lost-at-sea ship.

School had me read this, and it was surprisingly very interesting. I referee it to some ppl after

Dice hits it on the head again! I appreciate the factual & direct style he has. His books are easy & quick reads. I highly recommend.

I purchased this book as a resource to better understand cultural events as they were portrayed in media between 2019 - 2022. Discovered it to be good supplement to Manufacturing Consent by Herman & Chomsky and How to Lie with Statistics by Huff. Mr. Dice does a great job of exposing the rot in the media industry and brings the receipts to support the material. Would recommend to anyone interested in pursuing a better understanding of modern media messaging.

I first found Mark Dice in 2011 or 2012. It was his video on YouTube where he went around with a 1-ounce gold coin, offering to give it to people if they could guess the price of gold. I watched a lot of his videos (without ever knowing that he was a "Conservative") but then things in the precious metals market cooled down. And conspiracy theory activity cooled down when the world didn't end on December 21st, 2012.I stopped watching channels like Mike Dice and Alex Jones. Years passed.Then I find myself in 2021, wondering why people are trying to force other people to receive an experimental medication. Even the president of thew United States is trying to force it. Something is wrong!The bubble I'd been living in since 1996...the bubble devoid of politics, political affiliation, or even the daily news...popped. I turned to the internet to look into things that I'd been avoiding for so long. I learned that the "left" and the "right" pretty much hate each other. That there are "Conservative" and "Liberal" news channels on television. (I haven't owned a television in 15 years.) That they may have gone a long way to deceptively paint the guy who gave Kevin McCallister directions to the lobby in beginning of Home Alone 2 as a racist and criminal.In my searches, I found my way back to Mark Dice. For the first time since his "You're At A Bookstore Instead of Watching The Superbowl?!" video. Why did I find my way back to Dice? How? That's simple...because he was one of the few people actually talking about the important things going on, one of the few people willing to question these things, and one of the few people who seemed like he knew what he was talking about.So I bought this book because I'd been hearing about "fake news" since I pulled my head out of the sand and I wanted Mark Dice's opinion on it. This book is great, the only caveat is that it's 2017, so now 5 years old. A lot has happened in those 5 years. Still a great book if you don't mind footnotes instead of endnotes!Mark Dice (formerly known as John Conner) is a brilliant man, and although I don't ALWAYS agree with him, I'd love to read more of his books. He has several interesting titles with a high level of great reviews...so head on over to Amazon aaaand check 'em out!

Dice sums up the Fake News Media phenomenon with supportive facts! Highly Recommended.

This exemplary work gives details, names names, surprises and informs on every page. If you want to know why you have come to believe certain things, or why you feel confused after watching and listening to certain things, this book can help you untangle that web of confusion. There are some who do not want you to know about events detailed in this book, and some of them may have made their desire known in the comments. It's your choice; I hope you will use your own mind to figure out what is true and what is a lie.

This book is a must read for all fair minded people with an interest in current affairs and the media, in fact it should be on the essential reading list of all educational establishments not only in the USA but European countries also. Of course that will never happen as our educational establishments have been dominated by the Liberal Left and this book would not sit well with their narrative. Apart from that the book itself is a good read and well written making it rather compelling and difficult to put down, highly recommended as are his regular YouTube videos.

A pleasant surprise to see the continuously (and ironically) laughing YouTuber Mark Dice having produced a serious work on Fake News. His formal education in communication studies definitely shines through. Every chapter is backed by detailed references to original sources. If you want to understand what's going on in the legacy media and the digital outlets like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and others, this book will provide you a full briefing. Next to that the inevitable involvement of government agencies in "managing news" is discussed. The book is primarily USA focused, but rest assured it does shed a bright light on non-USA media intricacies.A recommended read!

Mark Dice is one of those who doesn't suffer fools and if you find yourself on the wrong side of reason and logic he is not for you, best stay in your safe space and tune into the BBC and other fake news outlets that feeds your "oh I'm offended" mentality. If on the other hand, you would like to know why you have become so dumbed down after being indoctrinated by the far left liberal media for years then invest in Marks book, otherwise, you may want to consider a subscription to the Guardian, as that is about the level of your reading comprehension perhaps.

I'm going to second the review by "Shonensy" as I couldn't have put it better. This is a must read for anyone who really wants to know the truth behind media Spin."This book is a must read for all fair minded people with an interest in current affairs and the media, in fact it should be on the essential reading list of all educational establishments not only in the USA but European countries also.

An outstanding book, shows exactly how the sanctimonious liberal media shape the news as opposed to report it, with the mainstream media being the biggest #FakeNews merchants around. The traditional media have ceased to report the news and are merely cheerleaders for their chosen liberal or left-wing candidate.This book doesn’t just rely on hearsay and rumour, it actually evidences the examples it use and lists exactly where they can be found.A must read for anyone interested in the decline of the traditional media.
