Paperback. Condition: New. Would your younger self believe the news of today? An entire city block blown up by a suicide bomber on Christmas Day because he believed phone towers spread disease. A Representative elected to the US Congress on a platform that Democrats are secretly harvesting an anti-aging chemical from the blood of abused children. Angry rioters in furs and horns overrun the Capitol in a bloody carnage of insurrection. The Prime Minister of Australia employing the wife of his friend who fronts a group the FBI has declared terrorists. A global pandemic which, even as they lie dying from it, people refuse to believe exists.Many who sat in shocked disbelief as these events beamed around the world asked the same question: 'How did we get here?' For those rioters, it was the culmination of a journey of online radicalisation that began with the weaponisation of disinformation by their political leaders and outrageously biased 'news' commentators.Facts and Other Lies puts fake news in its historical context and explains how disinformation has fractured society, even threatening democracy itself. It explains why disinformation is so potent and so hard to stop, and what we can do to help prevent its proliferation in Australia - where politicians and shock jocks are already operating from the same dark playbook. It outlines how anyone can defuse disinformation in the home, office or pub, or wherever the deluded gather to spread their nonsense. Be prepared!

Social media is no longer a tool for connection but a viral outrage machine that harvests and monetises our worst impulses. As a result, we are being driven apart: politics is becoming more extreme, young women are following dangerous health advice and young men are adopting the sexist attitudes of their grandpas. Most troubling: it has spawned a new class of powerthose who know how to game the outrage economy to change how you vote, what you buy, and who you hate.Welcome to the era of Angertainment. Social media outrage is an entire industry. Rage-baitthe 2025 Word of the Yearisn't just an internet annoyance, it has become the supreme vehicle for building political and cultural capital.
