Book- Bullsh*t Busters: And Other Propaganda DemolishedPublication: Indus SyndicatePages- 142Price- Rs 100In the age of the cow, a bullsh*t buster is a most useful tool. Each political myth is then sourced and debunked, using a range of resources from news outlets and academia. In terms of its format, Bullsh*t Busters runs the danger of being accused of setting up straw men. Also, at times, it seems too broad — the themes it tackles take away from the book’s core. Its assumption — in a world of social media wars, Goebbelisan repetitions and the already gratingly cliché age of “post-truth” — is that people can still be swayed by facts and context.
