My former Silicon Alley Reporter colleague Ben Fritz — who’s also co-founder of political-spin-debunker website Spinsanity— has a new book out. It’s a doozy.

Our first book, All the President’s Spin: George W. Bush, the Media, and the Truth, goes on sale today… it offers a nonpartisan analysis of the PR-driven deception that has come to define George W. Bush’s presidency, chronicling his spin on issues ranging from tax cuts to the war in Iraq. We also put Bush’s presidency in perspective by tracing the history of public relations in modern presidential politics; examining how this process has culminated in a presidential campaign in which Bush and John Kerry are both engaging in deceptive PR tactics; and explaining why the media has failed to hold Bush and other politicians accountable for dishonest spin.
