From the authors of the "New York Times" bestseller "The Exception to the Rulers" comes a new book that pushes back against official lies and spin and gives voice to the silenced majority. Torture. Kidnapping. Bogus wars. Illegal wiretapping. Propaganda. Spies in the newsrooms. Oil profiteers. Soldiers who won't fight. Mothers of fallen soldiers Who will. In Static, the bestselling brother-sister team of Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now!, and investigative journalist David Goodman takes on government liars, corporate profiteers, and the media that have acted as their cheerleaders. The authors cut through the official static to show the truth about war, torture, and government control of the media. Static breaks the sound barrier to present the voices of dissidents, activists, and others who are often frozen out of official debate. Read Static. Become informed. Fight back. Defend democracy.

From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Interesting read from 2006. Before social media, before algorithms, and before politics was a chaotic free-for-all. Simpler days. But as book points out, there were still problems."; "For anyone following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, this is a must-read. History eerily repeating itself. Propaganda, lies, torture. All following the same script."; "Read anything by Amy Goodman! This one from 2007 while based in that time period, reveals how power operates in the U.S. and why it is so difficult to know what is happening in the world and in the U.S. It takes a dogged researcher and reader to get the real story and Goodman is such a person's ally."
