Reviews

'Regular critical analysis of the media, filling crucial gaps and correcting the distortions of ideological prisms, has never been more important. Media Lens has performed a major public service by carrying out this task with energy, insight, and care'
*Noam Chomsky*

'I really cannot do justice to this superb, devastating book ...It is not merely excellent, it is outstanding. Buy it. Read it. Use it.'
*Morning Star Online*

'The development of Media Lens may permit it soon to have the power to act as an alternative source and a correcting influence on the gross distortions in the news we receive at present'
*Henry McCubbin, The Spokesman*
