About this listen

In this characteristically turbocharged new book, celebrated Rolling Stone journalist Matt Taibbi provides an insider's guide to the variety of ways today's mainstream media tells us lies. Part tirade, part confessional, it reveals that what most people think of as "the news" is, in fact, a twisted wing of the entertainment business.

In the internet age, the press have mastered the art of monetizing anger, paranoia, and distrust. Taibbi, who has spent much of his career covering elections in which this kind of manipulative activity is most egregious, provides a rich taxonomic survey of American political journalism's dirty tricks.

Hate Inc. will be an invaluable antidote to the hidden poisons dished up by those we rely on to tell us what is happening in the world.

Listen closely. Go watch the news. Then wait for the penny to drop. If you don't hear the penny drop it's to late for you.

Listen. Then watch. Then be amazed

Matt does an amazing job of stitching together the invisible threads that connect every media voice selling you propaganda and consent

tied together like a bow

the book really grips you from the start with the most obvious accounts of media bias and goes into great detail with anecdotes and examples to back it up. book weakens near the end with boring interviews in my opinion also might be a little hard for people living outside USA to relate but never the less worth a listen.

Ear opening stuff

This is a very, very good book only spoiled by not letting go of the subject when the points Matt was making were abundantly clear. Very much recommended despite that.

This is a scathing and thought provoking critique of the cancerous relationship between the media and government /intelligence, and the parasitic dependence the mainstream media platforms have on fear, outrage, and anger. It also examines how, Simply put, the Internet has forced traditional media to compete for clicks, eyes (thus revenue) by evolving ever more into an outrage machine catering towards carefully defined opposing demographics. Fuelling in flaming and in some cases constructing scandal and fear. Then providing the enemy within: the opposite side of the politcal aisle. Red/Blue tribalism. The enemy within. And they have done it with aplomb to the tune of billions of dollars.

Manufacturing consent has evolved into manufacturing Hate.

This generation's manufacturing consent is HATE INC.

Well done Matt Taibbi.

tries to give a weird reason for why people votes for trump instead of just explaining how bad the media is .

disingenuous
