Download Trust Me, I'm Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator AudioBook Free

"You've seen everything before. A destructive online rumor costs an organization millions. A politics sideshow derails the national news routine and destroys a candidate. Some product or super star zooms from total obscurity to viral feeling. What you don't know is the fact that someone is responsible for all this. Usually, someone like me. I'm a advertising manipulator. In a world where sites control and distort the news headlines, my job is to control blogs-as much as any one person can. In today's culture...

1) Sites like Gawker, Buzzfeed, and the Huffington Post drive the advertising agenda.
2) Bloggers are slaves to money, technology, and deadlines.
3) Manipulators wield these levers to shape everything you read, see and watch-online and off.

"Why am I giving away these secrets? Because I'm sick and tired of a world where sites take indirect bribes, marketers help write the news headlines, reckless journalists propagate lies, and nobody is in charge of some of it. I'm tugging back the curtain because I don't want anyone else to get blindsided. I'm going to explain exactly how the media really works. Everything you choose to do with these details is up to you."
