<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>From Derek Hunter--one of the most entertaining political writers today--comes an insightful, alarming look at how progressives have taken over academia, pop culture, and journalism in order to declare everything liberal great, and everything great, liberal. </p><p>Progressives love to attack conservatives as anti-science, wallowing in fake news, and culturally backwards. But who are the real denialists here? </p><p>There are three institutions in American life run by gatekeepers who have stopped letting in anyone who questions their liberal script: academia, journalism, and pop culture. They use their cult-like groupthink consensus as proof that science, reporting, and entertainment will always back up the Democrats. They give their most political members awards, and then say the awards make their liberal beliefs true. Worse, they are using that consensus to pull the country even further to the left, by bullying and silencing dissent from even those they've allowed in. </p><p>Just a few years ago, the media pretended they were honest brokers. Now a CNN segment is seven liberals versus a sacrificial lamb. MSNBC ate their sacrificial lamb. Well, Chris Matthews did. Tired of being forced to believe or else, Derek Hunter exposes the manufactured truths and unwritten commandments of the Establishment. With research and a biting, sarcastic wit, he explains: </p><ul><li>The growing role of celebrities in the political world, and movies with a message that dominate awards season, but rarely the box office.</li><li>The unquestioning reporting on studies that don't prove what they say they prove.</li><li>The hidden bias of fact-checking, when the media cherry picks which facts they check.</li><li>Celebrity scientists like Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson blending liberal activism with pretend expertise outside their fields.</li></ul><p>Clever, controversial, and convincing, Derek Hunter's book gets to the root of America's biggest cultural war lies.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>IN THE RUSH TO CLAIM JOURNALISM, SCIENCE, AND POP CULTURE AS ITS OWN, THE LEFT IS DESTROYING THEM ALL.<strong></strong></p><p>Newspapers have stopped publishing "all the news that's fit to print," opting for "the truth is more important now than ever," as the <em>New York Times</em>' motto now goes. To "save" science from conservatives, the Left has weaponized it by lowering the bar for what is considered true. To "save" pop culture from conservatives, it has produced entertainment that entertains no one. The idea of "speaking truth to power" has been transformed into speaking the "truth" of the powerful.</p><p>We've entered a new era of political bias and groupthink in these fields. By turns hilarious and shocking, <em>Outrage, Inc. </em>exposes what happens when the extreme wing of a political faction claims exclusive domain over "truth" and works to destroy dissenting views and those who hold them.</p><p>It started with the desire to purge radical conservatives from the public square and then spread to just the conservatives. Now the liberals are going after everyone deemed impure.</p><p>With the humanities and social sciences already cleansed, and with these domains now spitting out foot soldiers for "the resistance" with an education that leaves them qualified only to be professionally offended, the Left will eventually move on to corporate America, all of government, and the military.</p><p>Remember when journalists worked to get out more information, instead of telling you which information they thought the public should have? For a long time, the media have held a liberal bias, so this has been easy to miss or misunderstand. However, when you look at the virtual industry that has been created to stir up outrage and keep people too angry or scared to think, it becomes clear that reality has been elbowed out of journalism--and science and pop culture.</p><p>With the sarcasm and wit that only Derek Hunter can deliver, <em>Outrage, Inc. </em>reveals every angle of the liberal anger industry that has created systemic bias and subtle indoctrination to manipulate an unsuspecting public. These once-great and vital institutions have become a complete mockery of what they were supposed to be. Only when the workings of the machine are exposed do we stand a chance of maintaining our constitutionally limited republic.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Outrage was a response saved for the most egregiousoffenses by those with a moral compass, but in today's society, outrage is a vehicle for attention, a substitute for informed debate, a tactic for the ethically rudderless. Derek Hunter walks usthrough how if everything is outrageous, nothing is."--DANA LOESCH<br><br>"Derek Hunter takes a scalpel to the liberal outrage culture anddissects it like a fine surgeon . . . then he breaks out the hammer and finishesthe job. Packed with thorough research, keen insight, and biting humor, <em>Outrage, Inc.</em> is an important book documenting the Left's manipulationof all aspects of our culture to advance its radical agenda."--DAVID LIMBAUGH<br><br>"Outrage has become the newest weapon in progressivism's arsenalagainst truth. It accompanies 'science says.' Combined, the Left wants to steer conversations in its direction and win arguments by rigging the system. Derek Hunter exposes not only the Left's war on truth but also howit continually sucks the fun out of everything to promote outrage."--ERIC W. ERICKSON<br><br>"Suppress facts. Silence dissenters. Manufacture hate. Tolerateintolerance and violence in the name of social justice and peace. Theseare the radical commandments slavishly worshiped by the media, academia, and Hollywood. The result? Fake news, campus chaos, and nonstop propagandizing by celebrity hypocrites. In <em>Outrage, Inc</em>., the irrepressible Derek Hunter defiantly runs toward this out-of-control liberal mob andbeats back the bullies with truth. Not 'my' truth or 'your' truth, but The Truth. Wanna trigger leftists? Buy this book."--MICHELLE MALKIN<br>
