In this eye-opening exposé, Dr. Bart P. Billings, a seasoned psychologist and veteran advocate, pulls back the curtain on the media's role in shaping societal perceptions and behaviors. Drawing from personal experiences and extensive research, Dr. Billings reveals how modern media often prioritizes sensationalism over truth, inadvertently glorifying criminals and creating victims in the process. From courtroom dramas to veteran healthcare, this book offers a critical examination of how media influences can distort reality, impact public opinion, and even encourage destructive behaviors. Dr. Billings challenges readers to question the information they consume and consider the broader implications of media practices in our society.
