 News Zero: The New York Times and the Bomb
  (Paperback)
  by  Beverly Keever
   Publisher: Common Courage Press (June 1, 2004)

And why is it still offering warped coverage of the issues 40 years after the end of nuclear tests above ground? Beverly Keever takes you inside our most prestigious propaganda machine to show just how the "Times" covered up the reality from half lies with half truths to supplying a complete alternative framework to manufacture consent.
