Breaking The News
How the Media Undermine American Democracy
James Fallows
Breaking The News examines why Americans are losing trust in the news media. James Fallows, a National Book Award-winning journalist, argues that the media reduces complex issues to political gamesmanship and sensationalism, alienating the public from our public life. With examples from colleagues like George Will to Cokie Roberts, this controversial and widely praised book offers a smart, lucid, and dead-on critique of modern American journalism.
