If you're the type of person who can tolerate someone who identifies Fox News as the network of the Republican Party, or can tolerate someone poking fun of the Fox News slogan as being "Fair and Balanced", you'll at least be able to get through, if not enjoy, this book. Otherwise, if you're a firm believer that Fox News is in fact "Fair and Balanced", and all the other news networks are left leaning and biased, I wouldn't suggest reading this book. If you do, you'll probably just end up throwing it against the wall and breaking something.

Besides taking a dim view of Fox News, another favorite target of Bill Press are the Koch Brothers. It's a close call as to which takes more abuse, but both certainly get their turn.

In a style similar to TV's Jon Stewart, in which Stewart shows a quote from a politician and then takes it apart, Press uses quotes of many Conservatives against themselves. And as the book title indicates, he also tries to make the point that in many cases, attacks on the President are personal rather than policy driven, and often distort the facts. While in most cases, Press makes his point, in some cases he tends to throw in an extra invective or two, which is unnecessary, because his numerous references can and do stand on their own.

well-written and "biased". Reality has a liberal slant. Well-researched but not an in-depth consciousness altering tome. Oh, also triggering and depressing as hell but that's not the author's fault.
