Cable News Confidential: My Misadventures in Corporate Media

CORPORATE MEDIA EXPOSED BY A PROGRESSIVE WHO GOT INSIDE

In his new book, Cable News Confidential: My Misadventures in Corporate Media, Jeff Cohen takes you inside TV news and the conservative biases, timidity and tabloidism that dominate it. Few media critics have been afforded an intimate, on-the-job view of the outlets they condemn, but Cohen -- who founded the media watch group FAIR -- spent years at CNN, Fox News and MSNBC. He was a senior producer at MSNBC’s Donahue during the run-up to the Iraq war, and witnessed war-enabling bias and censorship firsthand. He tells all in a biting, humorous paperback taking aim at the entire rightwing hot-air brigade that Cohen saw up close: O'Reilly, Hannity, Buchanan, Novak, Falwell, etc. (Ann Coulter wouldn’t debate him.) The book includes a foreword by Jim Hightower.

MOLLY IVINS says: "Jeff Cohen's dissection of cable TV news is both irresistibly funny and civically painful. It goes from uproarious anecdotes to those that make you wince."
