These misinterpretations\nin 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2005, contributed fundamentally to the ever-worsening moral\nand empirical disorientations of our information elites (journalists,\nacademics, pundits). So while journalists reported Palestinian war propaganda\nas news (lethal journalism), they were also reporting Jihadi war propaganda as\nnews (own-goal war journalism). These radical disorientations have\ncreated our current dilemma of pervasive information distrust, deep splits\nwithin the voting public in most democracies, the politicization of science,\nand the inability of Western elites to defend their civilization, and instead,\nto stand down before an invasion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57320342552958,"sku":"NW9781644696408","price":78.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781644696408.jpg?v=1778594302","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/can-the-whole-world-be-wrong","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
