In the News: American Journalists View Their Craft Book

Mostly concentrated on tearing down the Bush administration, I was expecting more shocking or rather, unexpected knowledge that has slipped under the table in recent years. While I personally enjoyed the analysis that media played on hiding certain pieces of information and how it relayed facts and twisted it one way or the other, it was hard to pinpoint what the actual purpose of the book was. It's very hard to rebut any of the authors key points but it felt, scattered. A lot of long analogies were used and though useful to make a point, as a reader one lost track of what the purpose of the analogy was, once it went on for more than two pages.
