The Epidemic of Political Lying, Why Republicans Do It More, and How It Could Burn Down Our Democracy
Book • 2024
In this book, Bill Adair reveals how politicians lie and why, relying on dozens of candid interviews with politicians, political operatives, and experts in misinformation.

He outlines the patterns of lying, the motivations and tactics of political liars, and the impact on people's lives.

Adair also examines how Republicans have tried to change the landscape to allow their lying by intimidating the news media, academia, government, and tech companies.

The book provides solutions to end American political deceit and emphasizes the importance of truth in the digital age, particularly on critical issues like climate crisis, public health, and international relations.
