Peace News features a sympathetic review of Newspeak by Ian Sinclair. It is not available online. Here are a few excerpts from the print version: ... "Particularly shocking are the sections highlighting the government-friendly media coverage of the 2004 and 2006 Lancet reports on Iraqi deaths, and of Hugo Chavez's decade-long tenure as the president of Venezuela. Best - and most entertaining - of all are the replies Edwards and Cromwell elicit from journalists. ... Scrupulously footnoted, persuasively argued and very accessible, along with the first Media Lens book Guardians of Power, Newspeak in the 21st Century is an essential addition to every activist's bookshelf".
