Politics of Misinformation, Paperback by Edelman, Murray J., Brand New, Free .... Politics of Misinformation, Paperback by Edelman, Murray J., ISBN 0521805104, ISBN-13 9780521805100, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The Politics of Misinformation is an examination of how concentrations of social and economic power result in public languages of politics that are necessarily image-based, vague, and misleading in their denial of undemocratic tendencies. As a result, public discourses of democracy tend to be populistic, emotional, and likely to emphasize images of progress rather than structural inequalities in their formulations of public problems. In short, neither typical problem definitions nor solutions invite critical popular understanding or involvement in democratic politics.
