Half-Decent. Literally First half, absolute gold – havenât folded so many corners in my life.Second half, didnât finish it. The book continuously reiterates the same retorhic from start to finish about the flaws of the press… after you probably âgot itâ after the first chapter. Could easily have been 50% shorter but that 50% was fantastic.
This doesn’t need to be a book. This book can be summed up thusly: get some small time bloggers to blog about something you want, then tip off some larger blogs who will think there is genuine news, then tip off some larger blogs/news sites and repeat this process until you’re in the main stream news.This book could have been written in one chapter, which is my pet peeve when it comes to books.
The most important book you will read This is probably the most important book you will read. Especially in the modern climate where, blogs are more important than ever. This book lays it out clearly, how blogs really are the modern yellow press and should not be trusted. This book focuses mainly on blogs, but Holiday shows how even supposed respectable publications take carefully laid out bait and run with it.
