 Radio 94.1FM  info: kpfa.org/events  \n\n"Taibbi is the best American 
 journalism has to offer." -The Washington Post \n\n"Where other mainstream 
 news sources fail, Matt Taibbi madly embraces his role as an honest 
 political observer/writer/citizen in a democracy."  - Janeane Garofalo 
 \n\nMatt 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 has 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 survey of American political 
 journalism's dirty tricks. \n\nHeading into a 2020 election season that 
 promises to be a Great Giza Pyramid Complex of invective and digital 
 ugliness, 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. 
 \n\nMatt Taibbi is a contributing editor for Rolling Stone and winner of 
 the 2008 National Magazine Award for columns and commentary. His most 
 recent book is I Can't Breathe: A Killing on Bay Street, about the infamous 
 killing of Eric Garner by the NY City police. He's also the author of the 
 New York Times' bestsellers Insane Clown President, The Divide, Griftopia, 
 and The Great Derangement.\n\nSasha Lilley is the editor of Capital and Its 
 Discontents: Conversations with Radical Thinkers in a Time of Tumult. She 
 is also a co-founder and host of the Pacifica Radio program Against the 
 Grain.\n\n$12 advance, $15 door.\n
