About this listen
From the COVID lab leak theory to Hunter Biden's laptop to Jeffrey Epstein, media critic and former CNN producer Steve Krakauer spotlights the problems of a news industry filled with geographically isolated, introspection-free, egomaniacal journalists.
In Uncovered, America’s sharpest media critic, former CNN insider Steve Krakauer, reveals exactly what went wrong—and why the media went off the rails. The fourth estate is supposed to be a conduit to the people and a check on power. But instead, we have geographically isolated, introspection-free, cozy-with-power, egomaniacal journalists thirsty for elite approval.
Krakauer dives deep into some of the most egregious examples of the elite censorship collusion racket, like how tech suppression and media fear led to the New York Post-Hunter Biden email debacle before the 2020 election. Krakauer takes listeners inside CNN after the shock Trump election, inside the New York Times after the Tom Cotton op-ed backlash, inside ESPN after the shift away from sports-only coverage, and more.
No one understands these problems (and people) better than Krakauer. He has spent years getting to know the most influential players in the industry and this fascinating book is what he’s learned. But most importantly, Krakauer equips listeners with the crucial tools to sniff out when the press is lying or misleading the people of America in the future—so together, we can bypass them altogether.

eye opening
I expected it to more political but it was more informative and eye opening about the whole landscape of "journalism"

Nothing new - Read with a grain of salt
Maybe it's just me because I've spent my entire career in Coms. Maybe it's because I'm not American and so I'm not as passionate about what damage the media wars have done to public discourse. There's nothing new about this book that wasn't already appearant. I had a hard time finishing it.
Also - this is not an objective piece of writing. It could have easily been an opinion piece in a journal.
The cynic in me wonders about why Tucker Carlson figures so prominently in this book.
Read with a grain of salt.
