Book excerpt: "Darrell "Bubba" Wallace Jr. drives a race few have driven before. He's climbed up racing's ladder from driving Bandoleros and Legends cars as a kid to making his NASCAR Cup Series debut at Pocono Raceway in 2017 behind the wheel of the iconic No. 43 that was once driven by NASCAR's king, Richard Petty. Before getting there, Wallace drove for NASCAR Hall of Famer Joe Gibbs in Joe Gibbs Racing's developmental program in the Xfinity Series. Wallace's path, like many others before him, was full of encounters with NASCAR legends. What makes Wallace's path different from that of almost every other NASCAR driver is that he's setting records as an African American driver. With a Cup Series win and six trips to victory lane in the Truck Series under his belt, Wallace set a new bar. No African American driver since Wendell Scott in 1964 had won any race in one of NASCAR's top three national racing series"--

Download or read book Breaking the News written by Alex Marlow and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the editor in chief of Breitbart News, the New York Times bestselling “must-read” (Sean Hannity) investigation into how the establishment media became weaponized against Donald Trump and his supporters on behalf of the political left. In this timely and “important book” (Glenn Beck), Marlow explains how the establishment press destroyed its own credibility with a relentless stream of “fake news” designed to smear Donald Trump and his supporters while advancing a leftist agenda. He also reveals key details on how our information gatekeepers truly operate and why America’s “fake news” moment might never end. Breitbart—and Trump—began banging the drum about “fake news” during the 2016 election, and it resonated with millions of voters because they intuitively knew the corporate media was willing to say or write anything to achieve their political ends. It’s a battle cry that continues to this day. Deeply researched and eye-opening, Breaking the News rips back the curtain on the inner workings of how the establishment media weaponizes information to achieve their political and cultural ends.

Download or read book Please Scream Inside Your Heart written by Dave Pell and published by Hachette Go. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the publisher of the NextDraft newsletter comes a cathartic and humorous ride through the unnerving, maddening hellscape of the 2020 press cycle, reestablishing the line between "real" news and real life. Please lower your shoulder restraint and keep your hands and feet in. You’re about to board a roller coaster ride through a year that was at once laughable and lethal. If you’ve got an anti-anxiety prescription, now would probably be a good time to call in a refill. Please Scream Inside Your Heart is a time capsule; a real-time ride through the maddening hell that was the 2020 news cycle—when historic turmoil and media mania stretched American sanity, democracy, and toilet paper. Who better to examine this unhinged period in all of its twists and turns than news addict Dave Pell, aka the internet’s Managing Editor? Fueled by the wisdom and advice of his two Holocaust-surviving parents, for whom parts of this story were all too familiar, Pell puts the key stories of 2020 into context with pith and punch; highlighting turning points that widened America’s divisions, deepened our obsession with a media-driven civil war, and nearly knocked the country off its tracks. Pell also examines the role of technology in society—and how we somehow built the exact opposite of what we thought we were building. Why did the lies spread faster than the truth? How did our tech addiction contribute to the nightmare? Why do you feel a vibration in your pocket right now? In 2020, the news was everywhere, and everything was political—even the air we breathed. So brace yourself as you’re hurtled through the twists and turns of the corkscrewiest year in American history; one that included two impeachment trials, a global pandemic, Black Lives Matter, the biggest election of a lifetime, a slide towards autocracy, and a warning from the makers of Lysol not to drink their products.

Download or read book An Ethics of Political Communication written by Alexander Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working in the tradition of analytic philosophy, Alexander Brown argues that many different forms of political communication (or anti-communication) that often infuriate the public can also be ethically or morally objectionable. These forms include question dodging, offering scripted answers, stonewalling, not listening, disseminating propaganda, pandering, being insincere, giving false denials, issuing revisionist interpretations, refusing to take responsibility, never apologising, boasting, and gaslighting. Brown invokes a host of normative reasons including those having to do with epistemic arrogance, interference in autonomy, and violating the right to be heard. This is not to say that, all things considered, politicians should never engage in dubious political communication. Sometimes these are necessary evils. Brown argues, however, that further moral inquiry is needed to show why they are evils, and to determine when the use of these rhetorical tactics can be excessive, unreasonable, or out of place. Key Features: • Identifies and conceptualises forms of dubious political communication • Develops an ethical evaluation of political communication • Considers possible justifications for the use of dubious political communication • Makes practical recommendations on how to regulate unethical political communication
