How the Media Invented Whitewater
Book • 1994
In 'Fools for Scandal: How the Media Invented Whitewater,' Gene Lyons presents a scathing critique of the media's coverage of the Whitewater controversy.

The book challenges the received wisdom about the Whitewater affair and exposes the media's role in amplifying political scandal.
