Power Games

Unspun Headlines

De: Michael Clutton

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Facts, spin, and the slow death of common sense—served with a scalpel and a smirk.
Breaking news has a body count—and this book performs the autopsy.

Power Games opens the morgue drawer on the biggest political stories of the past year and asks one simple question: how did everything get this stupid?

Through each “case file,” Michael digs into the headlines you thought you understood—Ukraine aid fatigue, border busing stunts, censorship crusades, proxy wars, and near-miss assassinations—to uncover what really happened after the cameras moved on. Every chapter reconstructs the scene, sifts the evidence, and identifies the usual suspects: politicians, pundits, and platforms that profit from outrage while pretending to manage it.

This isn’t fiction. Every story here is drawn from verifiable reporting, stripped of spin, and seasoned with equal-opportunity sarcasm. The right blames the left, the left blames the right, and the rest of us are left wondering who swapped the news feed for a reality show.

With forensic wit and gallows humor, Michael dissects how truth became a stage prop, how public trust flatlined, and how both sides keep digging up the corpse to argue over who killed it first. The result is a brisk, biting read—part investigation, part therapy session for anyone exhausted by modern media’s 24-hour melodrama.

If you’ve ever doom-scrolled through a breaking story and thought, “This can’t be real,”—welcome to the autopsy.
