The fourth estate is meant to connect the public and check power, yet it has devolved into a group of isolated, complacent journalists seeking elite approval. Steve Krakauer, a sharp media critic, intimately understands these issues, having spent years engaging with influential industry figures. This insightful book reveals his findings and emphasizes their significance for every American. Krakauer offers a comprehensive look at the media landscape, highlighting critical instances of elite censorship and collusion, such as the tech suppression surrounding the New York Post's Hunter Biden email story before the 2020 election. He provides an insider's perspective on CNN post-Trump election, the New York Times' Tom Cotton op-ed controversy, and ESPN's shift from sports-centric reporting, unveiling previously undisclosed details about the press over the last five years. Drawing from his experience as a former CNN executive and numerous exclusive interviews with media personalities from various outlets, Krakauer presents a rational and engaging examination of the fractured news industry. This is not a critique of media but a call for improvement. Krakauer's love for journalism shines through as he identifies problems and outlines the path toward restoring trust and relevance in the media landscape.
