I could not recommend this book strongly enough! I was so done with all news before I read this book. After, I felt guilty for becoming part of the problem and relegating my voice. Your take on politics and media having a dark role in our society is spot on! I would say that this book let me see a brighter side of media as well as people (in politics) using it positive ways, if you can believe thatSheza Akbar wrote: ↑24 Oct 2023, 13:16 I love how you started this review; the opening paragraph is fascinating. I couldn't agree more with your thoughts on the state of news media today. Phrases like 'fake news' and 'disinformation' have indeed fueled growing distrust, and the polarization of society has made it harder to find common ground. In my opinion, politics and the media have played a very dark role in our society. Nevertheless, I do respect that you now appreciate the news media's role in our democratic way of life. It seems like this book is a must-read to understand the news media problem facing our country. Overall, I love your writing style. Thanks for the recommendation; I'm adding this to my reading list!

Gerry, this is one of the best non-fiction books I have read this year. It made me really think hard about information and news. It took me a lot longer to read than my other books, due to the amount of time I had to take to reflect as well as thoroughly comprehend what the author was trying to get after. Sometimes I do wonder if ignorance would be a more pleasant place to live though! Thank you for reading my review and taking the time to always leave thoughtful comments, until next time...Gerry Steen wrote: ↑26 Nov 2023, 22:56 Hi Cara, Once again you wrote a great and descriptive review. This book sounds like my critical thinking mind will love it. It amazes me that people distrust reporters who have been schooled to gather and present the truth, but at the same time will immediately trust information on social media that can originate from anywhere and from anyone. I think the best approach would be to take stock of all the truths out there with an open and critical mind. You have aroused my interest in this book. On my bookshelves it goes! Have a great day!
