David C. Brock Livres
David Brock est passé du statut de journaliste conservateur de premier plan à celui de figure de proue de l'activisme médiatique progressiste. Ses débuts professionnels ont été marqués par des reportages percutants et des enquêtes approfondies, souvent destinées à discréditer des personnalités politiques par des analyses critiques. Cette approche a abouti à des publications très médiatisées qui ont examiné des personnalités publiques et leurs récits. Brock a ensuite publiquement rétracté et réexaminé une grande partie de son travail antérieur, se concentrant plutôt sur la critique de la désinformation et fondant une organisation importante dédiée à la surveillance et à la correction des erreurs dans la presse grand public. Son travail actuel se concentre sur l'analyse du paysage médiatique et la promotion d'un discours public plus éclairé.

In a powerful and deeply personal memoir David Brock, the original right-wing scandal reporter, chronicles his rise to the pinnacle of the conservative movement and his painful break with it.David Brock pilloried Anita Hill in a bestseller. His reporting in The American Spectator as part of the infamous “Arkansas Project” triggered the course of events that led to the historic impeachment trial of President Clinton. Brock was at the center of the right-wing dirty tricks operation of the Gingrich era—and a true believer—until he could no longer deny that the political force he was advancing was built on little more than lies, hate, and hypocrisy.In Blinded By the Right , Brock, who came out of the closet at the height of his conservative renown, tells his riveting story from the beginning, giving us the first insider’s view of what Hillary Rodham Clinton called “the vast right-wing conspiracy.” Whether dealing with the right-wing press, the richly endowed think tanks, Republican political operatives, or the Paula Jones case, Brock names names from Clarence Thomas on down, uncovers hidden links, and demonstrates how the Republican Right’s zeal for power created the poisonous political climate that culminated in George W. Bush’s election.With a new afterword by the author, Blinded By the Right is a classic political memoir of our times.
