Monday, January 17- Wendell Potter in Madison for Book Tour

By Nikolina Lazic

CMD's Wendell Potter will be at the Goodman Community Center in our hometown, Madison, WI, Monday to sign his new book Deadly Spin: An insurance company insider speaks out on how corporate PR is killing health care and deceiving Americans. Wendell was just recognized by the Nation Magazine as "the most valuable author of the year" on the Nation's Progressive Honor Roll.

Since Wendell Potter walked away from his executive position at a top health insurance company in May of 2008, he has worked tirelessly as an outspoken critic of corporate PR and the distortion and fear manufactured by America?s health insurance industry. Time magazine wrote that Potter "may be the ideal whistleblower."

Keith Olbermann recently interviewed Wendell about the industry's effort to discredit Michael Moore's documentary "Sicko" and Deadly Spin has been reviewed in countless journals, most recently in a moving article in the New York Times.
