Why people recommend it
Broken News by Chris Stirewalt is a media critique examining how mainstream news organizations exploit political polarization and audience anxieties for profit. On an episode of The Megyn Kelly Show in September 2022, Megyn Kelly promoted the book at the conclusion of her interview, encouraging her audience to purchase it immediately because it contains an abundance of valuable insight. Earlier in the discussion, Kelly brought up specific claims made by the author regarding his former employer, noting that the former network staffer argued that pushing a far-right political agenda was not actually intended to advance conservative causes or help elect Republicans, but rather served entirely different institutional motives. Kelly read through these shocking assertions and discussed the broader implications of the insider account with her guest Michael Knowles, emphasizing how the book sheds light on the deep-seated dysfunctions plaguing modern legacy media corporations.
