ReviewsPraise for Matt Taibbi "Taibbi, a writer of striking intelligence and bold ideas, is as hilarious as he is scathing." -- Publishers Weekly "[Matt] Taibbi is a relentless investigative reporter."-- The Washington Post "Taibbi [is] perhaps the greatest reporter on Wall Street's crimes in the modern era." -- Salon "Matt Taibbi is the best American journalism has to offer."--David Sirota, author of Hostile Takeover "Where other mainstream news sources fail, Matt Taibbi madly embraces his role as an honest political observer/writer/citizen in a democracy." --Janeane Garofalo, Praise for Hate Inc "In a smart and scathing freewheeling analysis, the Rolling Stone journalist analyzes political campaign coverage and other media powder kegs." -- The New York Times "Taibbi aims a cannon, blistering an American media industry he accuses of taking sides and manipulating the audience for profit--'different news' elevated to a business model." -- The Washington Post "Reporters have often become unwitting props in the amped-up, WWE brand of politics practiced by Donald Trump, even as their organizations have profited mightily from it." -- Booklist (starred review) "An invigorating polemic against tactics the news media use to manipulate and divide their audiences." -- Kirkus Reviews "A smart dissection of a grim media landscape." -- Publishers Weekly "Taibbi is a delight to read. He's a figure of large courage and considerable brio." -- Paste "Brilliantly captures the current circus atmosphere and explores its roots in the political, economic and technological transformations of the last half century." -- CounterPunch Praise for Matt Taibbi "Taibbi, a writer of striking intelligence and bold ideas, is as hilarious as he is scathing." -- Publishers Weekly "[Matt] Taibbi is a relentless investigative reporter."-- The Washington Post "Taibbi [is] perhaps the greatest reporter on Wall Street's crimes in the modern era." -- Salon "Matt Taibbi is the best American journalism has to offer."--David Sirota, author of Hostile Takeover "Where other mainstream news sources fail, Matt Taibbi madly embraces his role as an honest political observer/writer/citizen in a democracy." --Janeane Garofalo
