Cable News Confidential: My Misadventures in Corporate Media by Jeff Cohen
Cable News Confidential: My Misadventures in Corporate Media

steele104, May 10, 2008

This book is one of the best books I have ever read! It is informative, yet entertaining and I could not put it down. The book is full of compelling and critically important information about our world. Jeff Cohen's writing is easy to understand, easy to relate to, and very witty! Even while covering topics of life and death importance, Jeff can make you laugh with his sense of irony and humorous perspective. While many informative political books may be educational, they can easily become long winded and boring. I was able to read this book so quickly I actually had to slow down to enjoy it. I recommend this book for ANYONE who wants to truly understand our media - what's wrong with is, how it could be better, and who is doing what to fix it. Many people critique the media, but Jeff was on the inside! And now he is exposing the media from his first hand experience! Don't miss out on this book!
