He Argues That Politicians And Decisionmakers Bear Much Of The Blame For The Promotion Of Fear Among Citizens, Resulting In The Loss Of Civil Liberties In Return For Greater Protection. From A Social Interactionist Perspective, Altheide Presents His Thesis That Fearasentertainment Informs The Production Of Popular Culture And News, Generates Profits, Enables Political Decisionmakers To Cynically Manipulate Citizens, And Can Lead To Major Institutional Changes, Even War. The Author Dissects In Turn: A Modern Propaganda Campaign In The Justification Of The Invasion Of Iraq To The American People; The Expansion Of Control And Surveillance On The Internet; And The Construction Of A 'Hero Fighting Terrorism' To Promote Patriotism, In The Story Of A Promising Young Arizona Sports Hero, Pat Tillman, Who Joined The Army And Was Killed By His Fellow Rangers In Afghanistan.
