Rating:  Summary: "Jealous Fraud" Review: This book is incredibly revealing. The NY Times manipulates its readers to a degree unimaginable.They are so blind to their own foibles that the editors themselves are in denial. After you read Journalistic Fraud: How The New York Times Distorts the News and Why It Can No Longer Be Trusted, you will understand that the NYT is pure fraud and deception.
Rating:  Summary: Are we reading the same thing? Find out! Review: This is a great book - a must read for those of us that really want to know what's actually going on in the world! While I knew there were some "leanings", it really amazed me to learn how much the New York Times is distorting the news. Bias is one thing, but some of the articles show little resemblance to what was printed by other media sources covering the same thing.
The book describes various techniques - many are very subtle - used by the NY Times to slant a story. Most you wouldn't even notice! One thing is certain, after reading this book you will find that you scrutinize every news story you read/hear - and that is not such a bad thing!
Rating:  Summary: NYT Bias Exposed Review: This is fine work in literary criticism. Kohn disects the bias techniques of the NYT's front page. Read it and you'll find yourself more carefully analyzing the language on the front page of any newspaper you read. Smarter readers make for a stronger democracy. And while once-upon-a-time the credibility of the NYT's was unquestdioned, today the news function has become a direct arm of the editorial page. Sad for NYT readers, and, if extended over the country on both the Right and the Left, dangerous for us all.
Rating:  Summary: "Journalistic fraud that denies the Wholecaust" Review: Very good book but could use more info on why the New York Times and the lamestream media will never mention that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics killed 62 million people; The Peoples' Republic of China killed 35 million; and the National Socialist German Workers' Party killed 21 million (the socialist trio of atrocities). As a lawyer, I would like to know why the media are socialist deniers of the Wholecaust (written of elsewhere). And more info is needed on why the media don't mention the full accurate phrase "National Socialist German Workers' Party" but exclusively use a hackneyed misleading abbreviation. The media use the word "Nazi" to cover-up for the monstrous National Socialist German Workers' Party, in a vain effort to rehabilitate socialism. And any search of the New York Times (or any newspaper's or media's) search engine will show it.
