Which David Brock book to get?

[stpalm]

going to the bookstore tommorrow- I am going to get a David Brock book, but don't know if I should get "Blinded by the Right" or "The Republican Noise Machine"

I am leaning towards the second one.

1. I've only read the first one

The second is more up to date.

If you want a really good read, I just finished "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins. Eye opening.

2. I've only read "blinded..."

And it was fantastic. Shows from the inside how the right skewered Clinton and built the noise machine. I'm sure the second is great too and i plan on reading it, but somehow I feel we already know about the noise machine intuitively, and the origins and players in it's development are in "Blinded."

3. look at this asshole

reading reviews on amazon- I always like to read the 1 star reviews... anyway, look at this dumbass:


Love or hate it. It's that simple, May 21, 2004
Reviewer: A reader
In fact it's very simple. If you live in one of the liberal ghetto's like NYC LA or DC then you will probably love this book. However if you live in fly over country like the rest of us then you will be insulted beyond belief. This book is a good example of why it's so important to stay away from drugs and alcohol.

4. Depends

are you interested in David Brock or are you more interested in the history of the SCLM?

Blinded is more of a confessional. Noise Machine is something I use as a bible about the history of the So-Called Liberal Media.

Why don't you give them both a glance while you're at the store and decide then?

5. I will hopefully be needing to refute...

people who believe in the So-Called Liberal Media. Noise Machine it is! Thanks

6. Get "Blinded"

It's interesting because it's a confession, and explains how he ended up a RW "hitman," and how he came to see the light.

That's not to say "Noise Machine" isn't also good, but "Blinded" is unique because of the story it tells.

7. maybe I will get both. I have many gift cards. (nt)

8. You can never have too many books

especially if they can be used as ammo. :smoke:

9. Unless some are written by Ann Coulter

or Sean Hannity.

10. blinded has all the dirt on the skanks like coulter, doesn't it?

[Dr.Phool]

12. Yes it does

[Mabus]

13. unless you want to mulch your garden

or so I understand from Mr. Scaife and the rest of the lot who buy them to boost sales and can't get rid of them any other way.

11. Both are good

the second, however, is more up to date.
