Unmasked: Big Media's War Against Trump

Extended Synopsis

In Unmasked: Big Media's War Against Trump, L. Brent Bozell III and Tim Graham deliver a rigorous critique of contemporary media practices, examining the pervasive biases within the national press corps. Drawing on the extensive research and monitoring conducted by the Media Research Center, the authors analyze the coverage surrounding the rise of Donald Trump and his subsequent presidency to identify how institutional media outlets often influence public perception and political discourse.

The authors provide a detailed exploration of the various forms of media bias, arguing that these patterns of coverage have profound implications for the health of American democracy. By examining the structural framing of news—particularly concerning the 2018 midterm elections—Bozell and Graham illustrate how selective reporting and partisan perspectives can stoke divisiveness in American politics. This book offers an explosive, evidence-based analysis for those interested in the intersections of journalism, politics, and power.
