Sharyl Attkisson is one of the few journalists who didn't decide to fall asleep on the 20th of January, 2009. What we learn in this page-turning book is the antithesis to the Obama/MSM narrative that anything negative about his administration is nothing more than a "phony scandal." Instead, we see concrete evidence that the president and his henchmen are perhaps the most vindictive and ruthless groups of thugs to occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in recent memory. What they do to journalists who disagree with them would make Nixon blush. However, what I found most interesting was the first section dealing with media bias in general. Notice how celebrity news, "weather porn" and other manufactured stories (eg. Cecil the Lion) dominate the cycle? This isn't a coincidence according to Attkisson. Fluff rules while any attempt to expose big pharma, the military-industrial complex or Obama's fuzzy math is left on the cutting room floor. This book will definitely make you think.
