David C. Brock Libros
David Brock evolucionó de ser un destacado periodista conservador a una figura líder en el activismo mediático progresista. Sus inicios profesionales se caracterizaron por una aguda labor periodística e investigaciones exhaustivas, a menudo dirigidas a desacreditar a figuras políticas mediante análisis críticos. Este enfoque culminó en publicaciones de gran repercusión que examinaron a individuos públicos y sus narrativas. Posteriormente, Brock retractó públicamente y reexaminó gran parte de su trabajo anterior, centrándose en cambio en la crítica de la desinformación y fundando una organización significativa dedicada a monitorear y corregir errores en la prensa convencional. Su labor actual se centra en el análisis del panorama mediático y la promoción de un discurso público más informado.

In a powerful and deeply personal memoir David Brock, the original right-wing scandal reporter, chronicles his rise to the pinnacle of the conservative movement and his painful break with it.David Brock pilloried Anita Hill in a bestseller. His reporting in The American Spectator as part of the infamous “Arkansas Project” triggered the course of events that led to the historic impeachment trial of President Clinton. Brock was at the center of the right-wing dirty tricks operation of the Gingrich era—and a true believer—until he could no longer deny that the political force he was advancing was built on little more than lies, hate, and hypocrisy.In Blinded By the Right , Brock, who came out of the closet at the height of his conservative renown, tells his riveting story from the beginning, giving us the first insider’s view of what Hillary Rodham Clinton called “the vast right-wing conspiracy.” Whether dealing with the right-wing press, the richly endowed think tanks, Republican political operatives, or the Paula Jones case, Brock names names from Clarence Thomas on down, uncovers hidden links, and demonstrates how the Republican Right’s zeal for power created the poisonous political climate that culminated in George W. Bush’s election.With a new afterword by the author, Blinded By the Right is a classic political memoir of our times.
