Flat Earth News: An Award-Winning Reporter Exposes Falsehood, Distortion and Propaganda in the Global Media by Nick Davies
5.0
An amazing book. Even more relevant today than it was back when it was written. It fact it shows what went wrong and why people like Trump and Putin could so easily manipulate the media. So if you want to understand how we got here, this is a good place to start.
It is also a sober reminder of why we have to be critical of the media, even though it is a necessary foundation of democracy. In fact if the media is the 4th state, then the reader is the 5th state.
As a side note. I thought I could not hate Rupert Murdoch any more. After reading this book I realized that disgust has no limit.
