À propos de cet audio

In this characteristically turbocharged new book, celebrated Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi provides an insider's guide to the variety of ways today's mainstream media tells us lies. Part tirade, part confessional, it reveals that what most people think of as "the news" is, in fact, a twisted wing of the entertainment business.

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's dirty tricks.

Hate Inc. 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.

I’m a fan of Taibbi and his writing.
Reasonable and certainly a take a step back and look style in my view.
He and Katie Halper do a solid job on Useful Idiots.
Keep telling it like it is.

Matt is consistently putting out great material. He's a fantastic writer who doesn't hold.back when calling out both sides. Terrific

I found this book was great at pointing out how mainstream media, whichever political side it's on, is guilty of an attention grabbing business model. Where facts take a backseat to sensationalized headlines and hyperbolic arguments of what "the other side" is doing to destroy your life / democracy.

I found it a bit tough to listen to at points only because there were many, many references to things in the news that only an avid consumer of it over the last 50 years would understand and appreciate. As a younger person, some names and references sounded familiar, but most were completely lost on me.

Don't let that stop you from reading, but it's one of the reasons why I couldn't give it 5 stars. A little more accessibility would benefit the book for younger readers.

Both Sides Are Guilty

We are meant to learn from the past. This book offers the lessons, the lies and the layout for what is happening. How the roadwork is prepared for a convoy of trucks of untruth. It's thought provoking, disturbing and honest.

Past & future meet head on in this one.

Like many, I can't stand what the media has become today. Set to divide and anger the population, rather than inform it, it's a travesty of journalism that is making us stupider and allowing elites to exert more control over our life.

I picked up this book to hear a more in depth discussion of this issue, so that I could have more ammunition to feed my arguments when debating people who don't see this. Matt Taibbi delivers nothing less than a Mortal Kombat style fatality move on the news industry. He does not hold back from dropping names and going after some of the worst personalities directly for their negative influences. While he spent a lot of time on right-wing propaganda outlets like Fox News, he does go after left-leaning outlets as well and more interestingly, goes further back, showing the historical roots of this issue and how it's been around much longer than we think.

Of course, Taibbi has his own strong biases as a writer and while I don't think he'd deny them if they were pointed out, he ignores the impact that hardcore social idealogues are having on modern discourse or the impacts of things like cancel culture, which is very much alive and well. That's a disservice to the discussion, though made up for by him copping to his own participation in this kind of news culture before he knew better.

If you think the media is rotten, this will reinforce that view. But it also cites a lot of examples and historical information that can better inform you on where this came from and how it ended up here. I highly recommend.

A well deserved beat down of modern media

Very pretty good. I went thru manufacturing consent a while ago, but this book is more modern and easier to understand. Too it cross reference manufacturing consent here and there too.

Very well suited journalist to author this book. It was interesting to see the devolution of American media.

Matt is a great journalist !

Great listen for the world today. Will give this another listen if I ever get through my ever expanding book list

Super necessary

Great book, but I really wish Taibbi would have narrated it himself.

Fass did fine, but Taibbi has a strong voice - and that would've come through more had he used his own.

Let writers read their own books!
