Author Appearance and Media Literacy Workshop (Free)

In his new book, a journalist who has experienced censorship himself – Bay Area author Tony Brasunas – reveals truths about social media and mainstream news that every American should know.

Brasunas will host a Media Consciousness Workshop and book reading on February 1st at Soft Medicine Sanctuary in Sebastopol, California.

The goals of the Workshop will be to become wiser in navigating the news, more honest about your own blind spots, more confident in selecting the right sources to trust, more understanding of family and friends who hold differing views, and more adept at discerning the truth about current events.

Brasunas's book, Red White and Blind, is a meticulous revelation of high-level manipulation and distortion in mainstream news and social media - and a path forward for America.

A nonpartisan independent journalist, Brasunas was censored by Huffington Post in 2016 for covering the 2016 Democratic primary from a perspective too friendly to Bernie Sanders. Three years of research into the origins of censorship, disinformation, and propaganda in American news and social media has culminated in a riveting account of deception in America. Through dozens of absorbing exposés, Red White and Blind reveals the manipulation that has driven faith in mainstream news to all-time lows. Brasunas bears good news too. This crisis of faith has also birthed an independent media revolution - a New Enlightenment - enabling Americans to see through the walls of "confirmation bias" and perceive the world more accurately than ever before.
The book is available at Copperfield's Books in Sebastopol as well as online.
