Unreliable Sources: a Guide to Detecting Bias in the News Media by Lee
Committed, eloquent writings that plumb teh psychological and political complexities of mass-mediated experience. --San Francisco ChronicleAn essential text. --Utne Reader
More than helping to detect bias, Unreliable Sources tells the stories behind the stories called news. It should help build a national constituency for liberating media from all major constraints-- corporate as well as governmental. --George Gerbner, Dean Emeritus and Professor of Communications, The Annenberg School for Communications
You gotta love these guys. Not only have Lee and Solomon written a timely consumer primer on conservative bias in reporting, they've done it with humor. --Washington Journalism Review
A vital handbook for deciphering widespread media bias. Unreliable Sources dissects news coverage of a wide range of issues-- taxes, the Persian Gulf, social security, abortion, drugs, environmental pollution, U.S.-Soviet relations, terrorism, the Third World-- and exposes the key stories that have been censored or glossed over by major media.
