PARTING THE CURTAINS

Why were the sordid deeds of Jeffery Epstein concealed for two decades? Why was the origin of COVID-19 suppressed in the corporate news? Why are social media sites silencing scientists, scholars, journalists, and doctors?

Red White & Blind, published in January 2023, is a censored journalist’s story and a deep dive into the mechanisms of the American media. Through riveting exposés, Tony Brasunas reveals the insidious use of disinformation and social media censorship in America. The book also plots an optimistic path through these polarized times to an era of open information exchange that Brasunas calls a New Enlightenment.

“An important investigation of propaganda and censorship in America—and what to do about it.”

Kenn Burrows, Project Censored

ABOUT THE BOOK

Through dozens of utterly absorbing exposés, Red, White & Blind reveals the corporate media’s deliberate lies, tendentious censorship, and ironic use of the term disinformation. This deceit has driven faith in corporate news to all-time lows in the twenty-first century, but it has also birthed an independent media revolution—a New Enlightenment—enabling Americans to see through the walls of “confirmation bias” and perceive the world more directly and accurately than ever before. Join the journey and learn:

How the Father of Propaganda convinced Americans to love bananas, World War I, and the color green.

How the CIA placed agents in the media and how we know they still do.

Why the notion of “objective, professional journalism” was invented in the early 1900s.

How to understand family and friends with any set of political views.

Why today’s social media censorship violates the First Amendment.

Why “fact-checking” websites don’t actually check facts.

And much, much more.

"Convincing critiques of the current state of American media. Well-researched... impressive." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Sweeping and persuasive... A polished, highly readable treatment of a contentious subject… A surprising injection of optimism for readers who find the situation gloomy." (Publisher's Weekly BookLife)

“Elegant and systematic ... The time to develop what Brasunas calls 'media consciousness' is now.”

Ashley Rindsberg, author of The Gray Lady Winked, the groundbreaking exposé of disinformation in The New York Times
