You Are Being Lied To: The Disinformation Guide to Media Distortion, Historical Whitewashes and Cultural Myths
Containing expos?s on topics ranging  from Columbus to Columbine, this collection of stimulating  articles Disinformation Books' inaugural title challenges  popular beliefs on the Big Bang and the depredations of hackers.  Kick, author of Psychotropedia and a columnist for the Village  Voice, has collected an impressive array of articles by such  contributors as Sydney Schanberg of the New York Times, in which  he asks why John McCain persistently blocks public disclosure of  MIA files, and the lesser-known Jim Marrs, a Kennedy conspiracy  zealot and freelance journalist who discusses missing data from  historical tragedies, including the Lincoln and Kennedy  assassinations and the Lockerbie bombing. Do gay teens really  constitute a suicidal risk group? Was Jesus a myth? The best  articles will surely compel readers to pursue further reading;  none should be accepted as exhaustive. Public libraries ought to  invest in a copy to keep alongside other sources of skepticism;  academic libraries will find the scholarship uneven but  provocative.
