To the Memory of Sydney Schanberg,
Who Opened My Eyes About the American Media

•�•�•

During the early 2000s and in the aftermath of the 9/11 Attacks and the Iraq War, I began discovering that the narrative of events I had always absorbed from my newspapers and magazines was severely flawed.

A major turning-point in my views came when I stumbled across the astonishing work of Pulitzer Prize winner Sydney Schanberg, one of America’s most esteemed Vietnam War journalists and a former
top editor at the New York Times. He had spent years compiling a mountain of compelling evidence implicating our national leaders in a monumental act of wartime treachery, with Sen. John McCain being a central figure in covering up that scandal. Yet although this shocking material was released at the height of McCain’s 2008 presidential run, it was entirely ignored by virtually all of our media outlets, liberal and conservative alike.

If a story so important and so well-documented by such a writer could be disregarded by all our journalists, then our mainstream media merely constituted an American Pravda, just as distorted and dishonest as the notorious Soviet propaganda organ of that name.

Over the next few years I published several articles of my own on these issues, discussing this and other major scandals ignored by our timorous journalistic establishment.

Schanberg’s passing in 2016 inspired me to write a tribute to his seminal work, and this launched my American Pravda series, a series that has now grown to include many dozens of articles, totaling some 400,000 words.

Since the collection is much too large for a single book, this compilation contains most of the earliest pieces, including those closely
related to Schanberg’s own landmark research.
