Confirmed my Suspicions

David Brocks dominance and collusion of and with the fake news sites like CNN

What does Sharyl Attkisson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I trusted her words

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Money can buy reporters, editors and anchors to perpetuate whatever liberal narrative and smear you want to put forward,

Any additional comments?

I saw the Hillary campaign and friends try to make me doubt what I saw and heard during the campaign. Their antics and bubble blindness steered me to Trump and away from Hillary,
Excellent Book and hopefully We get a Part 2 Update highlighting CNN's and the rest of the Liberal Media fall from grace.

I'm shocked that I can still be this surprised

When I first began listening to this book, I found it compelling, but slightly depressing. The delivery was good, the arguments were logically argued and researched, but at first it wasn't terribly surprising (even if it WAS a terrible situation). But then as the book progressed, and the level of intimacy between most of the media, and operatives of one of the political parties was exposed, I was shocked at the extent of it. Again - not the presence of it per se - but the extent. That reporters who hound one political party were sucking up to members of the other major party were doing so to a naked extent that I simply was surprised by.

The banal back and forth of transactional journalism, as revealed by the WikiLeaks emails, was eye opening, and revealed how it wasn't a grand scandal or something that they felt they needed to hide very much, but merely was accepted as the normal part of how they conduct their daily work.

Most on the political Right will listen and think "see, I knew it!" And they are correct, but they would be wrong to take comfort that their candidates are any better. What comes across is that the Republicans envy the Democratic smear machinery, and wish they could be even half as effective at destroying enemies as Media Matters is.

Nobody has the high ground here morally. But it is enlightening and very encouraging to see that this sense of unfairness in the media isn't just a figment of one's imagination, or perhaps driven by one's own bias. It IS real. Extremely real. And this book exposes that fact.

A must read

Want to know how America was tricked into where we are now? Read this Book. One of the few factual books on the market.

A must read for every Conservative

Wow! This book was awesome. Every Republican politician should read it. Cheryl Atkinson discusses so many things that affect the News cycles.

so true

This book exposes the truth about our biased media. Great book and. is very credible.
