Hollywood Nation ― Left Coast Lies, Old Media Spin, And New Media Revolution

From the bestselling author of Tales from the Left Coast. Now entering Hollywood Nation, where fact blurs with fiction, virtue with vice

Now more than ever, stars like Michael Moore, Sean Penn, and Susan Sarandon are acting as self-appointed celebrity pundits, blurring the lines between entertainment and news to force their views onto the rest of the country. With their politically charged films, distorted documentaries, and skewed docudramas, they’re trying to set the agenda with little regard for the truth. Even worse, many so-called journalists are doing the same thing, dangerously mixing information and entertainment in an attempt to ratchet up ratings—and to inject their own views into the news.

In Hollywood Nation, New York Times bestselling author and media critic James Hirsen reveals how the New Media are leading the counterattack against the relentless liberal assault from East Coast newsrooms and Left Coast studios. Through his extensive research and exclusive interviews with news and entertainment iconoclasts—including Bill O’Reilly, Mel Gibson, and Ann Coulter—Hirsen shows how liberals are losing their stranglehold on political and cultural debates.

With a new chapter full of news about the ongoing Hollywoodization of America, Hirsen’s smart and compellingHollywood Nation gives us ammunition for the battle to reclaim our country and our culture.

James Hirsen, the author of the New York Times bestseller Tales from the Left Coast, writes the popular feature “The Left Coast Report” for NewsMax.com. He lives in southern California.
