review 1: La macchina del fango agiva con successo anche oltre oceano. Nel ferale duello tra un giornalista d'assalto e il politico più screditato d'America, prevalse a lungo il mastino dell'informazione che mordeva le caviglie del potere. Giocò sporco, talvolta e, purtroppo per lui, lo beccarono. Poi, sul più bello (la grana del Watergate), si fece superare dai giovanotti più baldanzosi del Washington Post.
review 2: If you want to see the antecedents of the Bush crime family, look no further than the pages of this book. Tracing a line from Nixon in the 1940s and the Alger Hiss case through to the corruption of ex-military officers parroting the talking points of the Pentagon on Faux News, this book covers the history of the corrupting influence of that virulent st... morerain of political slime that is Conservatism. The dirty tricks, the bribery, scandal, backstabbing and even murder (almost).A wonderfully researched and very well written history of the relationship between the press and politicians, it reads like a thriller. It is quite the page-turner and you'll have trouble putting it down. less
