Reviews
The best explanation of media behavior since Manufacturing Consent." -Glenn Greenwald
"Fantastic... Everyone should read [it]." -Krystal Ball
"The best American journalism has to offer. " -David Sirota
"Where other mainstream news sources fail, Matt Taibbi madly embraces his role as an honest political observer/writer/citizen in a democracy. " -Janeane Garofalo
"Excellent." -Joe Rogan
"An invigorating polemic against tactics the news media use to manipulate and divide their audiences." -Kirkus Reviews
"Taibbi, a writer of striking intelligence and bold ideas, is as hilarious as he is scathing." -Publishers Weekly
"In a smart and scathing freewheeling analysis, the Rolling Stone journalist analyzes political campaign coverage and other media powder kegs." -The New York Times
"Taibbi aims a cannon, blasting [the] American media industry." -The Washington Post
"Scathing and irreverent." -The Los Angeles Review of Books
"A raucous updating of Noam Chomsky and Ed Herman's classic dissection of capitalist news. Its message is hilarious yet grim: behind the buffoonery of the 24-hour partisan news machine is a propaganda system devoted to upholding the power of entrenched elites." -Jacobin
"Brilliantly captures the current circus atmosphere and explores its roots in the political, economic and technological transformations of the last half century. " -CounterPunch
"A bracing piece of media analysis... Should be required reading in all three remaining journalism schools. " -Paste
