United States of Distraction: Media Manipulation in Post-Truth America (And What We Can Do About It) is a nonfiction critique of contemporary American media, politics, and public discourse. Written by Mickey Huff and Nolan Higdon, with a foreword by Ralph Nader, the book examines how corporate media, political messaging, and digital disinformation contribute to confusion, polarization, and weakened democratic accountability. It is closely tied to the authors work with Project Censored and their broader interest in media literacy, public-interest journalism, and critical thinking. Rather than treating post-truth politics as a temporary anomaly, the book frames it as the outcome of long-term structural problems in media ownership, news framing, and public education. Its purpose is twofold: to explain how manipulation operates and to suggest practical ways citizens can respond through better information habits, civic engagement, and support for independent journalism.
