Hate Inc.: Why Today\u2019s Media Makes Us Despise One Another<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

by Matt Taibbi<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part tirade, part confessional from the celebrated Rolling Stone<\/em> journalist, Hate Inc.<\/em> reveals that what most people think of as \u201cthe news\u201d is, in fact, a twisted wing of the entertainment business<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this characteristically turbocharged new book, celebrated Rolling Stone<\/em> journalist Matt Taibbi provides an insider\u2019s guide to the variety of ways today\u2019s mainstream media tells us lies. Part tirade, part confessional, it reveals that what most people think of as \u201cthe news\u201d is, in fact, a twisted wing of the entertainment business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Internet age, the press have mastered the art of monetizing anger, paranoia, and distrust. Taibbi, who has spent much of his career covering elections in which this kind of manipulative activity is most egregious, provides a rich taxonomic survey of American political journalism\u2019s dirty tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heading into a 2020 election season that promises to be a Great Giza Pyramid Complex of invective and digital ugliness, Hate Inc.<\/em> will be an invaluable antidote to the hidden poisons dished up by those we rely on to tell us what is happening in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
