Tainted Truth: The Manipulation of Fact in America Tapa blanda - 1996

de Cynthia Crossen

One of Business Week's top books, this work examines how the distortion of information by the media, politicians, academics, and business curtails the public's access to the truth. Crossen shows how the desire for profits, for influence, or for increased funding has created an information industry that has only a glancing relationship with objective truth.


Resumen

Sponsored studies have become America's most powerful and popular tool of persuasion. Tainted Truth shows that much of what we learn from them is false. Although the studies and surveys wear the guise of objective science, their findings almost invariably reflect their sponsors' intentions.
In this important and provocative book, Cynthia Crossen reveals how the manufacturers of silicone breast implants did not disclose information regarding the dangers of the implants, how the demise of the cloth-diaper industry was influenced by questionable statistics paid for by Procter & Gamble -- the leading supplier of disposable diapers, and how even the confirmation of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court was influenced by fast and biased polls.

Cynthia Crossen has been a reporter and editor at The Wall Street Journal since 1983. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and son.

Reseñas en medios

The Philadelphia Inquirer Tainted Truth cuts through the media fog of sponsored research like a welcome lighthouse beam. Crossen exposes the rotten foundations of much so-called truth around us with unusual clarity, precision, and snap.
