I gave it two stars, but it is mostly because the book is a little on the dry side. It has some interesting things, but it can also bog down at times depending on the chapter. Her dislike of bloggers is very evident, which certainly did not make me like her any better; while debatable whether bloggers should be treated as journalists (some probably should), in her despise of them she comes across as someone who is just not with the times, which is kind of ironic given she is making an argument for reporters to keep up. Her points about the press being pretty much complacent and lapdogs is significant, and it should cause concern for people. Clearly, the press has failed the public when it comes to covering the news in an objective and fair way. For history buffs, this is a pretty good book on the history of the press in the U.S. in the 20th century. So, overall, not bad, but not great either.
