David C. Brock Libri
David Brock si è trasformato da un influente giornalista conservatore a una figura di spicco nell'attivismo mediatico progressista. La sua carriera iniziale è stata caratterizzata da un giornalismo incisivo e da indagini approfondite, spesso volte a screditare figure politiche con analisi critiche. Questo approccio è culminato in pubblicazioni molto discusse che hanno esaminato personaggi pubblici e le loro narrazioni. Brock in seguito ha ritrattato pubblicamente e riesaminato gran parte del suo lavoro precedente, concentrandosi invece sulla critica della disinformazione e fondando un'organizzazione significativa dedicata al monitoraggio e alla correzione degli errori nella stampa mainstream. Il suo lavoro attuale si concentra sull'analisi del panorama mediatico e sulla promozione di un discorso pubblico più informato.

In a powerful and deeply personal memoir David Brock, the original right-wing scandal reporter, chronicles his rise to the pinnacle of the conservative movement and his painful break with it.David Brock pilloried Anita Hill in a bestseller. His reporting in The American Spectator as part of the infamous “Arkansas Project” triggered the course of events that led to the historic impeachment trial of President Clinton. Brock was at the center of the right-wing dirty tricks operation of the Gingrich era—and a true believer—until he could no longer deny that the political force he was advancing was built on little more than lies, hate, and hypocrisy.In Blinded By the Right , Brock, who came out of the closet at the height of his conservative renown, tells his riveting story from the beginning, giving us the first insider’s view of what Hillary Rodham Clinton called “the vast right-wing conspiracy.” Whether dealing with the right-wing press, the richly endowed think tanks, Republican political operatives, or the Paula Jones case, Brock names names from Clarence Thomas on down, uncovers hidden links, and demonstrates how the Republican Right’s zeal for power created the poisonous political climate that culminated in George W. Bush’s election.With a new afterword by the author, Blinded By the Right is a classic political memoir of our times.
