Shocking revelations about the news media and conduct. The book gets very repetitive halfway and the stories are more of the same. Nevertheless I recommend it.

Part 1 gives a great summary of how blogs break non-news and how pr and marketing folks manipulate bloggers.

Later on it goes on to site the downfall of specifically men who were misogynists and talks about how it was soooo unfair to them. I strongly disliked the latter, but the former was really insightful.

To buy or not to buy. 🤔 On the one hand it sounds really interesting. On the other hand it sounds like the kind of thing that will just increase the low level depression I feel every time the news comes on.

So many books for teens are written in first person. It gets a little annoying. #uncannyoctober #firstpersonnarrator

Jess7 Why do you dislike first person narrator? @LibrarianRyan (edited) 6y
Smangela That‘s true! Never realized that before; maybe the repetition of that is what makes me get burnt out on YA and need to take breaks? 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6y
LibrarianRyan @Jess7 it's not that I don't like it, I do. But for some reason most current teen lit is 80-90% first person. It just gets tiring n 6y
