Larry Beinhart talked about his book Fog Facts: Searching for Truth in the Land of Spin, published by Nation Books. The author argued that America’s perception of reality has been distorted. The author explained that while the country should have been focusing on the 2000 election, President Bush’s war record, or the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the media or “soft machine” had the world’s attention on the happenings of Hollywood.
