From the COVID lab leak theory to Hunter Biden's laptop to Jeffrey Epstein, media critic and former CNN producer Steve Krakauer spotlights the problems of a news industry filled with geographically isolated, introspection-free, egomaniacal journalists.
In Uncovered, America’s sharpest media critic, former CNN insider Steve Krakauer, reveals exactly what went wrong—and why the media went off the rails. The fourth estate is supposed to be a conduit to the people and a check on power. But instead, we have geographically isolated, introspection-free, cozy-with-power, egomaniacal journalists thirsty for elite approval.
Krakauer dives deep into some of the most egregious examples of the elite censorship collusion racket, like how tech suppression and media fear led to the New York Post-Hunter Biden email debacle before the 2020 election. Krakauer takes listeners inside CNN after the shock Trump election, inside the New York Times after the Tom Cotton op-ed backlash, inside ESPN after the shift away from sports-only coverage, and more.
No one understands these problems (and people) better than Krakauer. He has spent years getting to know the most influential players in the industry and this fascinating book is what he’s learned. But most importantly, Krakauer equips listeners with the crucial tools to sniff out when the press is lying or misleading the people of America in the future—so together, we can bypass them altogether.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"One of the most insightful critiques that has been published on this topic in years." ― Glenn Greenwald
Excellent

Krakauer looks at political bias, geographic bias, social media, "fact checking", cable networks, newspapers and reporters.
Unique to this book, in my experience, is the use of actual voice for his on the record interviews. Instead of hearing the narrator (Krakauer) recite other people's quotes, he uses the actual recorded interviews. The listener gets to hear people like Eric Wemple, Salena Zito and David Folkenflick. That makes a more interesting listen.
I recommend this book as a worthwhile listen,
Good, concise look at a serious problem

Very early on, the author bizarrely makes the case that "there is no media conspiracy." He bases this on nothing but is inability to notice patterns. This a dated book about the media -- he should have published this two years ago, before his readers learned how all this works. He is playing catchup.
And the audiobook is 1/4 clips from TV shows and interviews. And it STILL isn't even 7 hours long. It's shocking that a "Media Expert" doesn't have much to say. It's like a padded college term paper. It didn't really bring any new insights.
Surprisingly simplistic. Very few fresh insights.
