Customer Reviews

Completely skewers the American press

This lighthearted book looks at the history of the American news media, showing its long-term addiction to scandal, sensationalism and gossip. Looking at the people who built the modern media and the stories they produced (and sometimes created), author Daniel Cohen punctures any pretence of "journalistic integrity." If you want to read a very funny book that completely skewers the American press, then this is the book for you!
