The problem is, these third parties are usually anything but neutral. They have been handpicked, cultivated, and meticulously packaged in order to make you believe what they have to say—preferably in an \"objective\" format like a news show or a letter to the editor. And in some cases, they have been paid handsomely for their \"opinions.\"\u003cbr\u003eThis eye-opening book is a must-read for anyone seeking to navigate the truth in a world saturated with manipulation.","brand":"Tarcher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42966483894527,"sku":"9781585421398","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781585421398_s600x595.jpg?v=1777307399","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781585421398","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
