WARNING: Get your copy before Discovery Communications tries to silence the author! NEVER BEFORE SEEN PHOTOS! FROM THE BOOK: Cappy was three sheets to the wind, stuck in a hole in the jungle, and screaming, “WHERE’S MY RIFLE? THERE’S GOOKS EVERYWHERE!” [A good buddy and retired Marine colonel] told me, “Geezus—watch your six. They might try to take you out!” In his latest controversial memoir, Cork Graham blows the lid off the reality TV industry. Graham entered this world of fraudulent broadcasting as team leader of Discovery Channel’s 2015 #1 New Hit Series TREASURE QUEST: SNAKE ISLAND. Invited to lead a hunt for the mysterious Treasure of the Trinity, he soon learned that there was no way any treasure would be found in what was a fully scripted show advertised to the public as a “true-life” documentary. He quickly learned the character profile and show model that is used to produce “reality” TV shows not only at Discovery Communications, but also at A&E and National Geographic in such Fakeumentaries as BERING SEA GOLD, GOLD RUSH, DUAL SURVIVAL, HUNTING HITLER, ALASKA THE LAST FRONTIER, and LIFE BELOW ZERO. Global and far-reaching, Graham even takes to task embassies and news services for their ignorance of the impact on various national histories, through a media format that has paved the way for “Fake News.” With Discovery Communications CEO David Zaslav making over $42 Million in 2017, there’s a lot at stake!

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Cork Graham received international notoriety in 1983 as an 18-year-old photojournalist, and US Naval Reserve midshipman, captured and imprisoned by the Socialist Rep. of Vietnam for 11 months while photographing a clandestine treasure hunt and reports of American MIAs lost in Indochina in 1975. This story became the subject of his first international bestselling memoir, THE BAMBOO CHEST: An Adventure in Healing the Trauma of War. Soon after his release from Vietnam, he was in Central America continuing his career as a photojournalist. He is the second American to have completed the Salvadoran Navy Special Forces course. With combat experiences spanning ten years in Southeast Asia, and Latin America, both as a combatant and photo historian/photojournalist and later as a paramilitary officer, he has advised and instructed a variety of military and LE units in counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency, and counter-piracy. His latest media adventure was as an actor on Discovery Channel’s, 2015 #1 non-spin-off hit series, TREASURE QUEST: SNAKE ISLAND of which this exposé is about.
