We'll Tell You What to Think: Wikipedia, Propaganda and the Making of Liberal Consensus - Paperback

by T. J. Coles (Author)

"A mightily telling book!" John PilgerBig Tech is shutting down the left and the right. Digital propaganda is telling you how to think and what to think about. In this new book, Dr. T.J. Coles exposes the hidden hands behind Wikipedia: the encyclopedia that anyone can use and anyone can edit. But who--other than paid trolls and dedicated PR operatives--has the time in our neoliberal capitalist order to spend all day editing and re-editing Wikipedia? With big money from big banks and big oil, the Wikimedia Foundation shapes the faux liberal culture that smears peace activists, attacks dissident journalists, hides the truth about nuclear weapons, distorts facts on climate change, and promotes US-led wars of aggression. The book also documents the Google-YouTube-Wiki axis that creates thought bubbles and attempts to discredit outside thinkers. The book calls for the democratization of information and frames the issue as a class struggle.
