Cowboy of the Road

Full-Blown Fake News; Setting the Record Straight

By: Valerie Pontbriand, Marcel Pontbriand

Narrated by: Lamont Mapp

This is a no-holds barred account of how the media in Quebec, Canada, along with government authority agencies, amplified rumor and innuendo to hold a kangaroo court aimed at destroying the business, reputation, and life of Marcel Pontbriand.

It is Part Deux of the Cowboy of the Road Series, because it focuses on the French-Canadian back-story of how sensationalism resulted in an emotional rollercoaster that destroyed the lives of many Quebec families.

The avalanche of lies lands on the shoulders of many Quebecers, and the media's crafting of censorious articles and broadcasts creates what is termed: Full-Blown Fake News.

Armed with deceptive influence, you will listen about the edgy journalists who fabricate, exaggerate, and twist the truth. Authorities play a major role in family destruction with their cat and mouse antics.

Heed this warning: Cowboy of the Road, Full-Blown Fake News: Setting The Record Straight pulls no punches and separates the bull***t from the truth, or to be more politely stated; separates the wheat from the chaff.

This book is one of the most emotional testimonies that I have ever applied pen to paper to reveal and share. You will listen about accusations that are unjust, media reports that are simply unbelievable, and be presented with so-called evidence that is totally untrue.

Let's get started on this path of deception, darkness, and despicability.

No words......

I know most of these people personally. As a father and a husband, I was literally brought to tears with the injustice these people have lived through. As a libertarian in general, I could not fathom the cruelty put upon these good people who just want to live their lives the way they choose. You can be told about their situation and really feel for them, but until you've learned it all you can't fully understand. Weather you know these people or not, it's a compelling tale of how far media and govornment will go to cover up the truth.

Media Attack!

It is hard to believe that the media in Quebec (or anywhere else) would have so much power and be able to ruin people's lives. This book is a well-researched expose' of just how horrible it can be to suffer through the lies of those practicing yellow journalism. It also serves as a wake-up call to anyone who blindly accepts whatever the media says.

If I had not personally experienced a small taste of this type of attack in my own life, I might think that this was an embellished story. Instead, I can say that conspiracies like this do occur (unfortunately) and it takes a lot to make peace with it.

The author has done a great job in presenting the facts in this case and the narrator added a lot to the book with his performance. I was given the chance to listen to this audiobook by the author/narrator/publisher and chose to review it.

Excellent!

I loved the first one, and this one did not disappoint. Super grasping, kept my attention the whole time, very well written and spoken. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a great audiobook!

Great Story

If you enjoyed the first book about Marcel Pontbriand, you will enjoy this one even more. What a life.

Truth is Stranger Than Fiction!

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this second book in the series as I find Val & Marcel's life story so intriguing! It is truly frightening the power the press has, and how willing people are to believe every word they print. I am not a conspiracy theorist but I do try to be a realist. To think such things do not go on is to be completely naive. Very much looking forward to the conclusion in book 3 of the series!

Great!

Very informative! I enjoyed this title a lot and found it very interesting, I definitely recommend it!
