Clinton Unmasked: 15 Media Myths of the ’90s
Power, Scandal, and Spin in America’s Last Great DecadeBy Miguel ThorntonLength4h 29m
About this audiobook
The 1990s — America’s last “great decade,” or a masterclass in political spin?
Through fifteen explosive myths, Miguel Thornton dismantles the legend of Bill Clinton’s presidency. Behind the glow of economic boom and media charm, this book reveals the deeper machinery: the power deals, scandals, and selective truths that shaped a decade of illusion. Drawing on declassified White House memos, congressional transcripts, and forgotten headlines, Clinton Unmasked exposes how charisma conquered critique — and how the culture of spin born in the ’90s still defines America today.
History doesn’t repeat itself. It rebrands.
