Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

In general (not just for this book, but for any book on politics - right or left), many one star reviewers find a book that disagrees with their particular world view and they jump to call it garbage without reading it. The 1 star review for THIS book strikes me as a prime example of this: what comments does the reviewer offer about the book itself? Only that it's garbage because of some nameless, unlinked memo that 'proves' Media Matters was out to target Fox News. I would be much more apt to believe such a comment if the person, you know, read the book and cited specific examples of lies and misrepresentations contained therein. To be honest, I do fall on the progressive side of the political spectrum and although I do not frequent Media Matters' website, when I get directed there by someone via my twitter feed it's not just some tear-down of Fox News - it's actual video footage or audio clips accompanied by real facts. Of course, for those living in any kind of reality distortion field (such as I believe Fox News supplies for its viewership) the reality of 'facts' don't matter - 'facts' can be ignored, discredited or brushed aside quite easily by oft repeated lies presented as news. And that is something that this book, quite correctly in my opinion, presents as a danger to democracy. In a period of time where unlimited sums of anonymous money can be put into distorting reality through TV, advertising and "faux news," how are average people to determine the objective truth and make good voting decisions? Anyhow, I've started into the book and, thus far, it seems to be an accurate representation of Fox News.
