Hate, Inc.: Why Today's Media Makes Us Despise One Another by Taibbi, Matt

In this characteristically turbocharged book, now in a new post-election edition, celebrated Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi provides an insider's guide to the variety of ways today's mainstream media, across the political spectrum, increasingly shapes the news in order to tell its audiences what they want to hear, thereby expanding their markets and profits. After the elections, Hate, Inc. is a necessary antidote to the distortions dished up by a media, both conservative and liberal, that has sacrificed objective reporting for the narrow distortions of partisanship. Hate, Inc. was released last year as a hardback and has sold nearly 17,000 copies (as well as 7,000 e books) in the trade. It has been reviewed by Jacobin, The Los Angeles Review of Books, The New York Review of Books, The Washington Post, and Kirkus Reviews. Matt Taibbi is a contributing editor for Rolling Stone and winner of the 2008 National Magazine Award for columns and commentary. He's also the author of I Can't Breathe: A Killing on Bay Street, about the infamous killing of Eric Garner by New York City police officers, Insane Clown President, The Divide, Griftopia, and The Great Derangement.
