Michael Keany's Reviews > A Firehose of Falsehood: The Story of Disinformation

Thank you NetGalley for providing me an ARC copy of the book.
The first half of the graphic novel dove into the history of leaders who used lies and deception to gain or keep control. It was really interesting to read and start to make connections to the world today.
The second half essentially covered the past 10 years, focusing on Trump. While I agree with most of what was written, I'm afraid that anyone who is following these lies will just ignore the facts presented. It became too heavy handed and seemed more like a graphic novel to attack maga instead of giving the history and letting people come to the conclusion on their own.
Again, I agree with what was mostly written, I just wish I could have others read this without feeling attacked and rejecting the material. Which, ironically enough, shows how successful the maga lie is.
