Marc Siegel
In this provocative book, Siegel identifies three beneficiaries. The media hype fear because it swells ratings and profits. Government agencies fuel the frenzy because it justifies their budgets and leaves them blameless if anything bad does occur. And pharmaceutical companies push fear because it keeps the public asking for Cipro, Paxil, and other drugs. This important book shows readers how to look behind the hype and take a more level-headed view of threats promoted by the media.
