it was amazing

This book starts out with a short story about Confucius and his belief of the impact of improper language. The book then goes on to illustrate how governments and media manipulated language to be ambiguous, misleading, and out right lie. It's an interesting read because once you finish the book you will never look at government announcements and media publishing the same. You even become conscious of your own language and how you choose your words.
