Book excerpt: The director of 2004’s smash hit documentary Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism teams with journalist Alexandra Kitty in an even more detailed and updated examination of how media empires, led by Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, have been running a “race to the bottom” in television news. They examine media consolidation by focusing on the Fox News Channel: How did Fox gain prominence? How did the Fox News Channel gain audiences and influence public debate? How does Fox report reality? Is the network merely interpreting events or is it pushing propaganda? Who are the main players and how do they treat their friends and enemies? Why should readers care about how Fox takes liberties with its facts? Each chapter blends interviews from Greenwald’s documentary, transcripts from Fox programs, and other research pertaining to Fox News not only to illustrate the Fox “mentality,” but also to show the factual, ethical and structural problems with the news channel. Interviews and transcripts are analyzed to give readers a strong sense of what Fox is actually telling its audiences.
Download or read book Outfoxed written by Peter Thomas Pontsa and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes Inspector William Fox likes to go off script, like when chasing gangsters in his cigarette boat on the St. Lawrence River. For one case, the RCMP officer with a penchant for luxury fashion finds himself teamed up with FBI Special Agent Patrick Reilly, an Irish lad who prefers absinthe to Guinness. The pair travel overseas to track down members of a gang who have kidnapped Tracy Jordan, an American academic and archeologist with teenage ties to William. In China, Tracy has been stealthily searching for evidence of Admiral Zheng He’s 15th-century connections to the area that would later be known as Nova Scotia. It’s here that Tracy and her team discover what might be Ming dynasty artifacts transported by Zheng He’s “massive treasure ships” left behind on Mi’kmaq peoples’ ancestral land. Outfoxed — a William Fox Adventure is a slick, globe-trotting adventure that involves the RCMP and FBI chasing the Foo Dog Triad operating in Hong Kong, mainland China, and New York City. Like Tracy and Kevin Steptoe, a Mi’kmaq lawyer, the gangsters are after the ancient Chinese treasures. Outfoxed is also a political thriller, diving deeply into the power struggles of the Communist Party of China and its shadowy operatives. It wades into the Fox family’s political past in South Korea, where a tragedy took place that still haunts William years later.

Download or read book What A Life written by Andrea Hurley and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Josephine "Dadie" Jordan. Dadie, the niece of famed Charles Dana Gibson (creator of the Gibson Girl and former owner of Life Magazine) was born into a well-connected and powerful Washington, D.C., family, but learned at an early age that the life of a society girl was not for her. She set off on the journey of a lifetime, and her compelling story is a tug-o'-war between tragedy and triumph. Her only goal was to live life on her own terms no matter the consequences, and she did just that. Although Dadie manages to be simple and highly complicated at the same time, given the totality of her life, one can only admire her. Because she insisted on living her life on her terms and in her own way, her story is filled with ebbs and flows. These ebbs and flows are anything but minor, and her trials and tribulations are of the most consequential nature. Given the twists and turns in this book, one would think it must be a work of fiction. It's not fiction. This is the real-life story of one woman who constantly overcame obstacles in order to turn her dreams into reality. The public and the media often seem to be under the impression that celebrities and politicians are the only people worth writing about. Dadie Jordan takes the reader through her complex life, baring all and proving that nothing could be farther from the truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After nearly fifty years as MFH and huntsman of England's College Valley Hunt, Martin Letts retired only when he could no longer follow his hounds through the steep rocky country in the northern hills of England. In his new memoir, Letts recalls how he bred and trained the formidable hounds that eagerly hunted this challenging countryside and would become the basis of numerous English and American packs. But Letts also recalls a host of passionate people with whom he's spent many days in the hunting field, sometimes in their best moments and sometimes in moments they'd rather forget. C. Martin Wood, MFH of the Live Oak Hounds in Florida, writes an Introduction that sets the scene for the memories that follow. "This treatise is a great example of knowledge meeting pen and paper. It will stand the tests of time as a way for the 'expert, ' as well as the novice, to get a grasp of the issues to be faced when building, developing, and hunting a cracking pack of foxhounds," writes Wood. Martin Letts's Memories of My Life at the College Valley has been edited by John Strassburger, for twenty years the editor of The Chronicle of the Horse and now its Foxhunting editor.

Download or read book The Man Who Never Returned written by Peter Quinn and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Quinn’s The Man Who Never Returned is a noir-ish, stylized detective narrative set in 1950s New York. It follows Fintan, a retired detective turned private investigator who has been given the job of finding Judge Crater, who just went missing in 1930. Based on a real story, it is quite an intriguing tale that was even more so for people living at the time. The famous missing-person case is comparable to the Amelia Earhart missing-person case, though it could have been an even more interesting one. It was alleged that the missing judge may have had information about underhanded dealings in the New York judiciary. It was believed that if such information came to light, Franklin D. Roosevelt, then governor of New York, would have had a hard time becoming the president of the United States. There were also rumors that the judge, who was a known ladies’ man, had either decided to disappear or had fallen afoul of the mafia. Featuring hardboiled characters and a beautiful re-creation of New York from the ’50s, it is quite a compelling read.

And with a murderer on the loose, desire has never been so dangerous...
