Summary: Really interesting..
Comment: I don't have time to read this entire thing, it's a huge book.. I hope to eventually get through the whole thing someday but here is what I like about it:
1. This book is really a collection of investigative stories ranging from all sorts of topics that tend to contradict public opinion or knowledge.
2. The articles are well written and provide their sources to back up their argument. They really get you thinking.
3. The fact that it's a collection of stories makes this book a great investment. It's great when you've got some spare time to sit down and read one of the articles, it's not like your committing to reading a novel.
4. It gets you talking. The articles in here make great conversation for you and your friends.
People who won't like this book tend to be closed minded. If hearing about an article that claims the US Government had pre-emptive knowledge of the 9/11 attacks puts you into a fit of disbelief then don't buy this book. Otherwise if your an open minded individual interested in hearing news conflicting to the general public take a look.
The onyl thing that stops this book from getting a 5 star rating is the fact that it is blatantly biased. I would prefer a book that shows both sides of the story. This book is like going to court and only listening to the defense testimony.. however one could argue that the media has already provided you with one side of the story.
All in all this book is well worth the price. I strongly reccomend it.

Summary: Everything You Read Is Wrong
Comment: This book from the folks at Disinformation is generally stronger than its predecessor, "You Are Being Lied To." That book was a similar collection of nonconformist articles but attempted to tie them all together under the theme of media manipulation and corporate conspiracies to control public information. That theme didn't work out too well as the book was damaged by whiny conspiracy theorists and bleeding heart crybabies. "Everything You Know Is Wrong" manages to avoid that problem, which could potentially damage any book with this kind of philosophy, and that's because it doesn't try to make any type of overarching point this time. Therefore this book becomes a more enjoyable and believable collection of articles on subjects that you are unlikely to hear about in the mainstream media.
Another strength of this book is its differing viewpoints, as many political persuasions are represented and some of the essays even contradict each other. In a book like this that reacts against mainstream power, you will naturally get a lot of leftism, and that's true in at least four-fifths of this book. However, the right will find representation here too, especially in the essay "Watchdog Nation" which criticizes anti-racism groups that are mostly acting only in their own self-interest, plus endorsements of books that criticize gun control concepts and the Clinton/Gore administration. Readers of this book who take every single essay at face value, regardless of the reader or writer's political leanings, will find themselves with new well-rounded viewpoints.
Regardless, the best essays here are far beyond mere left vs. right politics. Most notably "The Whole Truth About Domestic Violence," which proves that more men are abused than women; "Some Lessons from the Underground History of American Education," a truly terrifying expose on the real ideology of public schools (e.g. conformity and indoctrination rather than critical thinking); and "Postcards from the Planet of the Freaks," a realistic view on disabilities from the disabled themselves, which you are highly unlikely to see elsewhere. There are a few clunkers though, especially "Fear of a Vegan Planet," which starts out well with many well-considered reasons to avoid meat, but in the end states that meat eating is inherently illogical, as is "renting oneself out eight hours a day." If this author thinks that making a living is illogical, does it matter if you're a vegan when you can't afford to eat? Fortunately, inanities like this aren't numerous enough to damage the overall success of this book.

Summary: not bad, but not complete...
Comment: For the real story of 9-11, check out the book "War on Freedom" or David Icke's "Alice in Wonderland and the WTC disaster." In both books are accounts of how the federal government orchestrated the attacks themselves to usher in motives for war (which makes $$$ for the powers that be) and a police state - starting with the 'patriot act.'
