LIARS - The News Industry

by Frank B. Thompson III

Overview

For the past century little had stood in the way of those running the news industry, a handful of socialists; men, women, dynasties. No real threat to their power and influence had ever surfaced in that time, nothing that could not be dispensed with by the overwhelming force of their news empires. These demigods believed themselves invincible...invincible up to that one fateful day when catastrophe struck them down. It was a day like no other, the day when their long-held monopoly slipped from their grasp and their control over the truth, forever lost. This is the telling of that tale, a tale of the events leading up to that single turning point for the nation...a day when truth was restored to the people...and the liars put out to pasture.

About the Author

Former software executive turned conservative, fiction writer, I also double as a husband, dad, chauffeuring service, family gofer whose remaining time is spent traveling, going to the gym, taking tennis lessons, or typing away on my Macbook Air. I’m a very typical Meyers Briggs ‘INTP’ with the usual dry sense of humor.

My sojourn into writing began many moons ago, in the 60s, before long hair, marijuana, surfing, driving and girls had come on the scene. The 60s was an era when the musical duo Simon and Garfunkel, the television show Kung Fu and the comedy hour of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In were in vogue for teens my age. It was before Woodstock, so you were either a jock, hoodlum, cool, uncool, popular, a wallflower, a nerd, or a brainier type who learned Latin, while the rest of us took Español. During this time an instance in English class led to an idea that I might have a knack for writing, a revelation I promptly deep-sixed, a far-flung memory that would resurface a half-century later.

I have self published two novels as of December 2014; "WTF! This is a Liberal Utopia!" and "LIARS the News Industry," both of which have received rave reviews from my target audience.
