HATE INC.

Why Today's Media Makes Us Despise One Another

MATT TAIBBI

AVAILABLE NOW

"Taibbi, a writer of striking intelligence and bold ideas, is as hilarious as he is scathing." —Publishers Weekly

"A relentless investigative reporter. —The Washington Post

"Perhaps the greatest reporter on Wall Street’s crimes in the modern era. —David Sirota, author of Hostile Takeover

"The best American journalism has to offer. —Salon

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.
