Why Today’s Media Makes Us Despise One Another

Book • 2019

In this book, Matt Taibbi provides an insider's guide to the ways in which today's mainstream media distorts the news.

He argues that the news has become a twisted wing of the entertainment business, where media companies master the art of monetizing anger, paranoia, and distrust.

Taibbi, drawing from his extensive experience covering elections, offers a rich taxonomic survey of American political journalism's dirty tricks and how the media has evolved into a form of entertainment that fosters division and conflict.
