In 'The Fake Intellectuals: The Media Triumph of Experts in Deception,' Pascal Boniface critically examines the alarming phenomenon of so-called 'intellectuals' who dominate public discourse not through genuine knowledge or integrity, but through strategic manipulation and outright falsehoods. Boniface, a renowned political scientist, meticulously dissects how these figures exploit media platforms to propagate agendas, shaping narratives with misleading information and contributing to a pervasive climate of disinformation. This insightful analysis exposes the mechanisms by which truth is subverted and calls into question the very essence of intellectual authority in the digital age, urging readers to discern genuine expertise from artifice.
