SO I’M GOING TO BE POSTING SOME BOOK LINKS HERE: I haven’t read the books, unless say specify I have and enjoyed them.  However most of the writers are self-confessed libertarians and conservatives. This puts them at a disadvantage in the industry.  So… Call me the equalizer.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans’ trust and confidence in the mass media “to report the news fully, accurately and fairly” has dropped to its lowest level in Gallup polling history, with 32% saying they have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media.
