Matt Taibbi
In this characteristically turbocharged new book, celebrated Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi provides an insider's guide to the variety of ways today's mainstream media tells us lies. Part tirade, part confessional, it reveals that what most people think of as "the news" is, in fact, a twisted wing of the entertainment business.
In the internet age, the press have mastered the art of monetizing anger, paranoia, and distrust. Taibbi, who has spent much of his career covering elections in which this kind of manipulative activity is most egregious, provides a rich taxonomic survey of American political journalism's dirty tricks.
Hate Inc. will be an invaluable antidote to the hidden poisons dished up by those we rely on to tell us what is happening in the world.

Matt Taibbi explains the massive shift that happened to news coverage. His breakdown of the situation is well structured and his explanations are well worded. The insider perspective that he brings gives it just that much more clarity.
Like Mr. Taibbi I loved “Manufacturing Consent.” I still do. But it’s quite dated now and was always, in my opinion, a bit academic for some readers. “Hate, Inc.” is very accessible and very timely.

However, he speaks very little about big techs' role in it. Modern recommender systems and tech form echo chambers and faceless communication dehumanize discourse. Big tech also plays the role of censor/editor while masquerading as a neutral content distribution medium.
The corporate media in its desire to maximize profit indoctrinates people to service power and gets the victims to pay for their own victimization. Noam Chomsky referred to this as “manufacturing consent.”

No sides are taken, no ideology is given a pass. The “left” and the “right” are both responsible for misinformed, tribalistic shift in our cultural. Certainly the electorate shares responsibility as we have, on a whole, become lazy, apathetic consumers, but we have no doubt been kicked, pushed and pulled that way by a media that no longer seeks to inform, but rather values pure attention over all else, in a new economy where time spent gazing at whatever screen translates directly into profits for conglomerates that seek to sell us more “stuff”.
Wonderful and poignant analysis. I hope Matt gets all the credit he deserves for this.
