New York Times reporter Judith Miller hasn't yet been able to provide any evidence since the war to support her breathless reporting about alleged Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, but the "newspaper of record" has finally noticed Weapons of Mass Deception. The new book by PR Watch editors Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber appears this week as #25 on the Times bestseller list for nonfiction paperbacks. Even though leading publications like the Times haven't bothered to review the book, sales are strong thanks to word of mouth and reviews in local and alternative media - including a recent review by musician Brian Eno.
