Trading on Fear

What do Osama Bin Laden, the Detroit auto industry and the White House have in common? They all use fear to manipulate the public. The Guardian focuses on the propaganda uses of fear in an excerpt from Weapons of Mass Deception: The Uses of Propaganda in Bush's War on Iraq, the upcoming new book by PR Watch editors Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber. The Guerrilla News Network has also published a review of the book, accompanied by an interview with John Stauber.
