This USA Today bestseller reveals the media's misreporting on Black Lives Matter, coronavirus, Joe Biden, Silicon Valley censorship, and more.

Virtually every piece of information you get through the media has been massaged, shaped, curated, and manipulated before it reaches you. Some of it is censored entirely. The news can no longer be counted on to reflect all the facts. Instead of telling us what happened yesterday, they tell us what's new in the prepackaged soap opera they've been calling the news.

In Slanted, five-time Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist and New York Times-bestselling author Sharyl Attkisson presents the shocking devolution of what used to be the most respected news organizations on the planet. For the first time, top news executives and reporters representing every major national television news outlet -- from ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN to FOX and MSNBC -- speak frankly about the death of the news. A broad campaign in the media has convinced many Americans not only to accept but to demand censorship over journalism, empowering those seeking to influence public opinion: undermine public confidence in the news, then insist upon "curating" information and divining the "truth." They'll decide which pesky facts shouldn't cross your desk by declaring them false, irrelevant, debunked, unsafe, or out-of-bounds. Meanwhile, journalism schools teach students that their own, personal truth or chosen narratives matter more than reality.

In this expose, Attkisson digs into the language of propagandists, the persistence of false media narratives, the driving forces behind today's dangerous blend of facts and opinion, the abandonment of journalism ethics, and the new, Orwellian definition of what it means to report the news.
