Stauber & Rampton/Toxic Sludge
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page analysis of the book Toxic Sludge is Good for You by John C. Stauber and Sheldon Rampton. This book outlines the dubious activities of the public relations industry--how it started with duplicity and has, ever since, continued to manipulate public opinion for whomever will pay‹which is usually industry, but sometimes government. The authors argue persuasively that the process of the free exchange of ideas has been polluted and degraded by this industry, which began by convincing American women to take up a habit that causes cancer to selling the US on nuclear power.
