Sometimes, it feels good to hate!
Journalist Matt Taibbi’s 2019 book Hate Inc.: Why Today’s Media Makes us Despise One Another.
Taibbi brilliantly analyzes how trends in news media have changed in the last forty years.
Hate Inc. is a spiritual successor to the book Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky & Edward Herman, but Hate Inc.’s alt-title would be Manufacturing Discontent because that is the business model for media in the age of neoliberalism. Do yourself a favor, and buy Hate Inc.
