But lately, most of what we read and hear is either negative, biased, or both. Cutting through the gloomy reports and liberal slant are Dennis Keegan and David West with their brand new book,Reality Check: The Unreported Good News About America. Contrary to what the cynical reporters and politicians say, Keegan and West prove that America is still a shining city on a hill, with a low unemployment rate, high GDP, and enviable democracy. These are not opinions, but facts--based on statistics that the media isn't reporting because of political agendas, industry competition, and limited resources. InReality Check, Keegan and West cut through the bias and spin to reveal:* How our twenty-four hour news culture gives us more inaccurate information, not less
* Why the U.S. economy is doing better than we realize* Why the recent rhetoric and politics of change may do more harm than good
In this age of information saturation, the need to question and critically think about what we're reading and hearing is more important than ever. InReality Check, Keegan and West show us how to be discerning consumers and why the news about America is much better than the media would have you believe.作者简介Dennis Keegan is Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of the Auspex Group, a hedge fund headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut.
