Presenter Mickey Huff, professor of social science and history at Diablo Valley College,
director of Project Censored & co-host of the
weekly KPFA Project Censored Show, will discuss his new book: The United States of Distraction
“The U.S. wouldn’t be able to
hide its empire in plain sight were it not for the
subservient ‘free’ press. United States of Distraction
shows, in chilling detail, America’s major media
dysfunction—how the gutting of the fourth estate paved the
road for fascism and what tools are critical to salvage
our democracy.” —Abby Martin, The Empire Files
“The role of news media in a free society is to investigate, inform, and provide a crucial check on political power. But does it? —Mickey Huff
