If you have read the sword of truth series, you must read this. It ties in so much, i could not believe how much this book filled out the story line. Truly a wonderful escape.

Experience speaks. That's the best advice we can get. In a small book she speaks volumes in wisdom and

deep questions for all Americans. The warnings are justified and sound. I'm amazed at how the American media has neglected it's DUTY to tell the truth. IF the Press is so scared and afraid , I wish they would get out and give us NO news instead of LIES or partial truths.... worse than lies.

I gave" Terrorist Hunter " as X-mas gifts last year. This year I'm giving "Because They Hate" to everyone I know.

The DUTY to spread the truth now lies with us. This book was an eye-opener for all Americans.

Amazingly insightful. For a book written a while ago in the 60's, it is so accurate for what is happening now. Most of the media has warped our society in fictional biased storytelling. This is a real look at reality- profound in truth.

Truth is the truth but us humans play a game of hide and seek with the truth that we want and see and accept.
This book resonates deep in the truth of helping readers to understand the subtle vulnerability that we can have as
saboteurs of our own success. It teaches about the tools that can help us to overcome what we can't see with the old tools.
It teaches us that the words we say to ourselves are powerful and invites us to be nice.

Al Franken isn't shy about exposing the truth. Regardless of whether it's Sean Hannity, Fox News, G.W. Bush or numerous other right wing nuts, Franken shines the light of truth on their lies, thereby exposing their positions for what they are--baseless and without merit.
Don't buy this book if you're afraid of the truth. But those with open minds will see the true agenda of the right, and they should be rightfully upset.

Anyone who believes in the truth should buy this book. I have had the pleasure of giving away some copies.

While the author seems to know not the art of "writing", she really lays the truth on you, bringing many realities to life. The straight and unabashed truth. It illustrates the courage of one individual to have their story told.

At a certain point in every freethinkers life, you begin to realize that the U.S. propaganda machine is spewing out a constant stream of soul-destroying bulls*** to justify its imperialist, antidemocratic agenda. This realization is usually triggered by an event. For some, it was the assassination of JFK. For others, it was the subsequent assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King. For still others, it was 9/11. Most recently, perhaps, that same realization dawned for a new generation when they saw their LGBT peers slaughtered by Omar Mateen in Orlando, Florida. One thing you can count on: the hits always keep coming.

When you're ready to stop being told what to think, and instead start thinking for yourself, there are a lot of under-the-radar books out there that can help you along the path. One of the very best of them is Robert Kirkconnells American Heart of Darkness. He has the subtitle right: his book accomplishes the rather amazing intellectual feat of describing how and why our American republic was transformed into a pathocracy. And he does it in fluid, easy-to-understand prose that makes you wish youd been taught all this stuff in high school.

Sadly, this book will never be taught in high school because it tells the truthand the truth can be dangerous to a pathocracy, because if the truth is put out there in a way that everyone understands, it will be believed. And then what will happen to all those mercenary saboteurs of democracy in Washington? What will happen to the television pundits who spread their self-serving lies on the evening news? What will happen to the billionaire hedge fund managers and rapacious oligarchs who pay a lower tax rate on their income than farmers and schoolteachers?

Lets spread this book far and wide and find out, shall we?

I cannot add to what has been said by others who have given this book five stars. As a lifelong Catholic it is sad to see this disgrace visit the Church but the truth this book documents must be brought out into the light of day. Any serious Catholic must read this and confront the reality this book describes.

In order for anyone to properly and respectfully give this book a proper review, that person has to be looking for the truth. The truth that is in Christ Jesus. There are many people that are afraid of what this book entails and are also afraid of knowing who the REAL JESUS IS! The real Jesus says that He is the TRUTH. If you want to know the truth then allow God to take the blinders off of your EYES. Repent of your sins and ask God to SHOW you the TRUTH. These people say all kind of nonsense or hogwash or bologna about whether they THINK not KNOW whether this stuff is true or not. The real Truth is they are FEARFUL of believing that this stuff is actually true because then that would mean that they themselves are in danger of HELL FIRE. So instead of coming to truths with themselves they write it off as a LIE and tell everybody else that it's false just because they don't WANT TO believe it. In actuality, they are the ones that's the LIARS.

Truth is sacred.  So is the courage to tell it. Those who are politicizing the Truth by spin, omission and outright lies have grown not just unaccountable but complacent and arrogant.  Attkisson charges us all with doing our own research and recognizing these assaults on Truth, with her book a wake-up call that puts some disturbing Truth smack in front of any American who might not grasp that Freedom as we once knew it is being redefined by powers who would compromise it, for both the press and the individual citizen.  As we move into another election year, Stonewalled is a CRITICAL read to alert journalists--especially those just beginning their careers--and voters--to look with intention at the growing abuses these powers are committing as they seek public office with ever-growing reliance on a progressively politicized and co-opted media machine....making up our own minds and thinking for ourselves--with Attkisson''s book as an eye-opener--could just be that defining turn toward not getting fooled again!

The truth is painful but needs to be heard and understood. This does both in a healthy way.

I recently read this book on a business trip and could not put it down.  The reality of the world is something that we as American's need to know the truth and this book does just that.

I applaud the unblinking look at the way Chris' sisters explored their brother's story and the reality of their family history.  The fact that their parents refuse to face the truth about themselves is not unusual.  In reality, they are the kind of people who are devoid of conscience and pathologically self centered.  Their smug denial  is just a veneer.  Deep down they know the truth.  They need to protect themselves from the hard reality that everything Chris thought and wrote about them is true.  They obviously don't have the courage to dig down deep enough to tell the truth about themselves and own the devastating damage they did to their children.  If only they could love their children more than their need to cover over the wrongs they have committed.  They would then perhaps have a chance to mend fences.  The best thing Chris' siblings can do is move forward with their own healing.  He would be so proud that they have been so true to themselves.

This book might take the shape of fiction, but the facts are too true and chilling!  God is calling us.

This book at least will be eye opening to anyone truly wanting truth.  It's one I will read again and buy for others.
