No. It's the exact opposite. Americans by the millions jump to the conclusion that because it's on TV (CNN, Fox) then it must be true. Print is the only media left where the truth can be found.
The question then becomes - which books? Where does the truth lie?
The answer: seek out those books that are being actively banned by the State. That is where truth lies.
"The Secret Team" by L. Fletcher Prouty has the distinction of being one of the handful of books that has been deleted from the Library of Congress. It is a candid history of the CIA, its methods and true operational philosophy, written by a man who was there. Hmmmm. I wonder why the US government would actively ban this book? I thought we were living in a free democracy. Anyway, that is just an example of one book that tells it like it is.
Btw, Fletcher Prouty spent 9 of his 23 year military career in the Pentagon (1955-1964): 2 years with the Secretary of Defense, 2 years with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and 5 years with Headquarters, U.S. Air Force. In 1955 he was appointed the first "Focal Point" officer between the CIA and the Air Force for Clandestine Operations per National Security Council Directive 5412. He was Briefing Officer for the Secretary of Defense (1960-1961), and for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Prouty was technical advisor to Oliver Stone on JFK. The character that Donald Sutherland plays in that film is based on Prouty.
