Do you remember America?You are lucky, then. The shapeshifters called postmodernists, PC police, or the woke are twisting our culture, language, politics, and universities into shapes that baffle, anger, and sicken many Americans. Call it politically correct, call it neo-Marxist, it is ideological acid that eats away the truth:Identity politics undermines the Enlightenment heritage of reason, individualism, and liberty. Forced equality of outcomes diminishes the meritocracy of talent and hard work.Political correctness corrupts the meaning of language. Pseudo-environmentalism erodes the industrial revolution.Advocacy journalism sabotages media objectivity and honesty.Media Wars exposes it all: the philosophical roots in the German anti-Enlightenment, decades infecting our universities, and degradation of politics into exploiters and victims. And it exposes the shapeshifters at work behind every PC rant. Understand their mentality-and how to defeat them.Question: Which of these postmodernist narratives are true?Black Lives Matter must battle police to save black lives. Top U.S. universities and colleges are rape cultures. Any concern about Islam is Islamophobia. Government must rein-in capitalism to head-off economic crashes. Hollywood stars are bravely speaking up for American values. Global warming threatens the survival of the earth. Industrial civilization and economic growth are destroying Nature. Fancying a life in the opposite sex warrants sex-assignment surgery in pre-pubescent children. Art can have no objective standards. Unregulated social media are dangerous sources of fake news and hate speech that undermine our democracy.Answer: None is true. Media Wars goes behind the scenes to unmask the source of these false narratives.
