BOOKS IN THE NEWS
Hollywood Nation: Left Coast Lies, Old Media Spin, and New Media Revolution by James Hirsen
(From the publisher) -- From the bestselling author of Tales from the Left Coast. Now entering Hollywood Nation, where fact blurs with fiction, virtue with vice
Now more than ever, stars like Michael Moore, Sean Penn, and Susan Sarandon are acting as self-appointed celebrity pundits, blurring the lines between entertainment and news to force their views onto the rest of the country. With their politically charged films, distorted documentaries, and skewed docudramas, they’re trying to set the agenda with little regard for the truth. Even worse, many so-called journalists are doing the same thing, dangerously mixing information and entertainment in an attempt to ratchet up ratings—and to inject their own views into the news.
In Hollywood Nation, New York Times bestselling author and media critic James Hirsen reveals how the New Media are leading the counterattack against the relentless liberal assault from East Coast newsrooms and Left Coast studios. Through his extensive research and exclusive interviews with news and entertainment iconoclasts—including Bill O’Reilly, Mel Gibson, and Ann Coulter—Hirsen shows how liberals are losing their stranglehold on political and cultural debates.
With a new chapter full of news about the ongoing Hollywoodization of America, Hirsen’s smart and compelling Hollywood Nation gives us ammunition for the battle to reclaim our country and our culture. .
REVIEWS
“This readable, eye-opening book…[reveals] the more subtle, unexpected, and utterly gratuitious means that Hollywood too often employs to transmit its political messages.” —Michael Medved
“Jim Hirsen’s keen sense of the entertainment industry and its warped outlook, along with his take-no-prisoners style of writing, is enough to send Streisand, Sarandon, and Penn into therapy for weeks.” —Laura Ingraham, nationally syndicated talk-radio host and bestselling author of Shut Up and Sing
“Hollywood Nation exposes the sometimes subtle, sometimes blatant liberal spin employed by so many in the entertainment industry to push their leftist agenda and anti–free market bias. Reading this book will let you go to the movies and watch with vaccinated eyes.” —G. Gordon Liddy, nationally syndicated talk radio host
“A well-researched, well-conceived glimpse of liberal Hollywood culture through the eyes of an Orange County conservative who clearly isn’t fooled by anything.” —Townhall.com
