520    The one real difference between the American press and the
       Soviet state newspaper Pravda was that the Russian people 
       knew they were being lied to. To expose the lies our media
       tell us today, controversial journalist James O’Keefe 
       created Project Veritas, an independent news organization 
       whose reporters go where traditional journalists dare not.
       Their investigative work–equal parts James Bond, Mike 
       Wallace, and Saul Alinsky—has had a consistent and 
       powerful impact on its targets.  In American Pravda, the 
       reader is invited to go undercover with these intrepid 
       journalists as they infiltrate political campaigns, unmask
       dishonest officials and expose voter fraud. A rollicking 
       adventure story on one level, the book also serves as a 
       treatise on modern media, arguing that establishment 
       journalists have a vested interest in keeping the powerful
       comfortable and the people misinformed.  The book not only
       contests the false narratives frequently put forth by 
       corporate media, it documents the consequences of telling 
       the truth in a world that does not necessarily want to 
       hear it. O’Keefe’s enemies attack with lawsuits, smear 
       campaigns, political prosecutions, and false charges in an
       effort to shut down Project Veritas. For O’Keefe, every 
       one of these attacks is a sign of success.
