The biggest story of the election was how the media ignored the biggest story of the election.

Amid all the breathless coverage of a non-existent War on Women, there was little or no coverage of Obama’s war on the economy—how, for instance, part-time work is replacing full-time work; how low-wage jobs are replacing high-wage ones; how for Americans between the ages of 25 and 54 there are fewer jobs today than there were when the recession officially ended in 2009, and fewer, in fact, than at any time since mid-1997.

The downsizing of the American economy wasn’t the only story the media missed—or suppressed—there was also the unraveling of Obama's foreign policy and the deadly scandals at home (Fast & Furious) and abroad (the terrorist attack that killed the American ambassador at Benghazi).

But instead of serious, substantive journalism, the media reported ad nauseam on trifles (Big Bird), Republican-baiting hysteria (how everything the Republicans said was allegedly “racial code”), and distortions of Romney’s remarks (such as the 47% comment).

The media dropped the ball in covering the 2012 election, writes David Freddoso, editorial page editor of The Washington Examiner, and in doing so the media failed in their responsibility to keep politicians honest and the public well-informed. Freddoso, a New York Times bestselling author and former congressional reporter for National Review, fills this volume not only with outrageous examples of media bias, but also with dozens of real stories that genuinely inquisitive reporters should have relished but that the overwhelmingly liberal press didn't even bother to cover.

Full of the news you didn’t hear about in 2012, David Freddoso’s Spin: How the Media Ignored the Real News and Helped Reelect Barack Obama will be the most provocative and accurate take of just how Barack Obama managed to get reelected amidst the worst economic times since at least the 1970s, and how the media helped him do it.

5,0 su 5 stelle Top Shelf Investigative Journalism
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 19 marzo 2013

David Freddoso is an excellent investigative journalist...so much so that he bares little resemblance to the flunkies and flacks who woman the mainstream legacy institutions nowadays. Freddoso has already written two masterpieces and Spin Masters is a much needed addition to his oeuvre. The media's outright lickspittle admiration for President Obama makes it almost impossible to watch ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, etc. More importantly, and this is one of themes of the book, they deliberately keep their viewers dumb. They run stories on nothing--Mitt Romney's dog, Lindsay Lohan, "the War on Women"--and intentionally don't cover or explain the federal government's debt and perpetual deficits and the way in which our interest payments sabotage our future. What of inflation? Isn't that a story? The Federal Reserve creates 90 Billion in new dollars each month. When I talk to my friends and associates who spend their time watching the mainstream media they know nothing about it. Some have heard of quantitative easing but they have no idea that its synonymous with money printing. When I look at this nation and contemplate its bleak future I would have to say that a corrupt and ideological leftist media is 50 percent of the product. The chapters on women and the left's intentional pursuit of false charges of racism were the two most valuable (and depressing) chapters to read. Also notable was his coverage of Fast and Furious and the unconstitutional recess appointments to the labor board.

4,0 su 5 stelle A step-by-step analysis of actions and inactions of the mainstream media's bias
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 14 settembre 2014
Acquisto verificato
Freddoso's publication "Spin Masters" is an intimate tale of how the mainstream media has attempted to shape America's electoral politics. Most concerning is the cry of racism over nearly every word or argument a Republican makes. As Freddoso cites the Washington Examiner, "the racialization of every innocent comment is not just tedious. It is also damaging to democracy and to society"...it "is a short-sighted attempt to squelch legitimate political conversation, and with it democracy." Like the boy who cried wolf, when a serious and legitimate case of racism is before the American people, we will be burnt out by the mainstream media's misuse of the term, and we will ignore it.

I was glad Freddoso wrote about Candy Crowley's intervention in the second presidential debate in 2012. I remember the incident clearly as I was quite astonished a debate moderator stepped into the debate and attempted to "fact check" Mitt Romney with the effect of aiding the President. Whether you agreed with Obama and Crowley's assertion that Obama was in fact referring to the Benghazi attack as an "act of terror" in the Rose Garden is irrelevant. Two weeks of actions by the President and his administration that followed that speech blamed the sensational YouTube video. How do you reconcile two weeks of repeated actions attributing the attack to a video to a indirect comment in the Rose Garden? Actions speak louder than words. For the President to claim he called it an act of terror from the start is highly misleading but Crowley did her job. The American public walked away thinking Romney was wrong.

David Freddoso has done it again with Spin Masters - I can see it roaring onto best seller lists with the most horrifying story yet about how Obama won a second term with the collusion of the mainstream media. No, strike that. Read Spin Masters and see in detail how the mainstream media have promoted themselves to a federal agency of the White House, the Ministry of Propaganda, specializing in hiding anything good about conservatives and inventing anything bad instead. This book  Spin Masters: How the Media Ignored the Real News and Helped Reelect Barack Obama  is a blood pressure test until the last chapter, "Fighting Back With Good Ideas," which contains some inspiring, specific recommendations that are politically feasible. Some great writers are said to be born with ink in their veins, but David Freddoso grasps every niche and hiding-hole of Washington politics so note-perfectly that he must have been born with marble dust in his veins. If enough people read Spin Masters, it will certainly affect the coming mid-term elections of 2014 in ways that Emperor Obama will not like. Buy some for your friends.

In reading Spin Masters, I found that most of the information was already available in my lexicon. I recognized many things that were obvious to me, so I believe this would be a good choice for those interested in politics but who lack the time to keep up with details. The lack of the timely reporting of various facts by some in the media make it difficult to make sense of some situations. It's nice to have this book to organize these details.

For example: in one of the debates, President Obama said he had acknowledged on the morning of Sept. 12, 2012 that Benghazi was a terrorist attack. Later we found out that on that same afternoon, he had told one of the major networks that he didn't know what it was. The network left that portion of the interview on the cutting room floor until the election. Is it important for our president to tell the complete truth?

5,0 su 5 stelle Careful and Documented Research
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 3 febbraio 2013
Acquisto verificato
The hallmark of David Freddoso's books is research, careful and fully-documented research. In his third book, David Freddoso provides ample examples of how the mainstream media puffed the stories that were positive for Candidate Obama and ignored or marginalized those stories that were to his detriment. I won't ruin the book for you by providing a summary, suffice to say that all the major issues (foreign and domestic) are examined carefully. The book also shows how the opposing candidate was characterized and defined by the media. My favorite example is that New York Times columnist Gail Collins recounted more than fifty times the tale of Mitt Romney strapping a dog-carrier to the roof of his car to bring Seamus the dog on vacation with the family. I remember reading Ms. Collins' column every Saturday and wondering why it was that she would work in that anecdote seemingly every week. This book will be an important starting point for future historians who wish to gauge the impact of a monolithic media on public policy and elections.
