Editorial Reviews
Review
“Sharyl Attkisson left CBS News in search of a place that would not keep suppressing her work. She speaks from experience about the bias that dominates much of the news media today, and she writes about it with clarity and authority. Her latest book is a most interesting read.” -- Brit Hume
"Sharyl has an uncanny knack to see the kernel of truth in the most convoluted story. In Slanted, she applies those skills to one of the biggest stories of our time: manipulation of information in the media. Democracies depend on an informed public. However, the public cannot learn about without fearless and honest reporting. Slanted is just that." -- Marcel Reid, Whistleblower Summit and Film Festival
"Sharyl Attkisson is a force - and one of the bravest people I know. Those working to destroy journalism wield staggering power and the number of us willing to take them on are few. But she is one of them and she does it with meticulous investigative journalism, systematically breaking down the lies and exposing the ‘liars.'" -- Lara Logan
"For decades now, Sharyl Attkisson has deftly navigated the world of establishment journalism, refusing to kowtow to ephemeral trends or prevailing biases, cutting through the noise from the bipartisan propaganda machine inside the D.C. beltway. Her latest efforts in Slanted remind us that while censorship and disinformation campaigns are nothing new in our history, the realm of social media and so-called fact-checkers has added another layer to the deception." -- Mickey Huff; director of Project Censored and president of the Media Freedom Foundation; Chair of Journalism, Diablo Valley College
About the Author
Sharyl Attkisson has been a working journalist for more than thirty-five years and is host and managing editor of the nonpartisan Sunday morning TV program "Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson." She has covered controversies under the administrations of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump, emerging with a reputation, as the Washington Post put it, as a “persistent voice of news-media skepticism about the government’s story.” She is the recipient of five Emmy Awards and an Edward R. Murrow Award for investigative reporting. She has worked at CBS News, PBS, and CNN and is a fifth degree blackbelt master in Taekwondo.

I’m frankly not a big fan of the Author’s writing style, it’s just a bit too informal for me, but I’m sure others will find it comfortable. While I recognize that a fully footnoted volume of the book would have been a voluminous undertaking, nevertheless it is lacking. Not to say it’s not reasonably resourced, it surely is, but complete footnotes are essential in this kind of expose’, particularly when you name names. Also missing, aside from a third party comment, is a historical background to America’s long history of “fake news” and political “propaganda” going back to its founding revolution, yellow journalism, muck rakers, war mongering, and the infamous “journ-o-list” during Obama’s election.
As the Author clearly spells out, the gloves are off, any pretense of objectivity is not only gone but scoffed at in the Newsrooms of ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and the posh corporate Boardrooms of the likes of Google, Twitter, and Facebook. To look that 5000lb gorilla in the face and call them out? Damn, that’s bravery. And IMO, that makes her a hero.
