In a collection of letters written to Lies Of Our Times Magazine, Noam Chomsky outlines the role of the media in justifying US Government and corporate actions. The letters, written between 1990 and 1993, examine media coverage of events and issues ranging from the Middle East “peace process”, the US invasion of Panama, the Gulf War, the UN, the Soviet Union, terrorism and democracy to the coup in Haiti.

Chomsky makes his points in measured tones, and makes them well, inviting us not to agree with him but only to do what he insists the media preclude us from doing: to make up our own mind. (The Globe and Mail)
This is not a new book, but a new updated edition of the 1993 one ... It has lost none of its acute observational clarity and is as relevant now as it was then, if not more so. [Chomsky's] incredible depth of knowledge and incisive thinking lend his arguments a devastating potential. (Morning Star)
