Title: You Can Throw This Baby Out with the Bathwater
Review: Tabloid Baby may be a fun read, but its "truthfulness" is questionable. (1) Every person in the book falls into one of two camps: either they are on the side of Kearns and his crew, or against them. The former are described positively, lovingly, romantically; the latter are ridiculed and made fun of, with no attempt to be objective or balanced. (2) The book is extremely sexist. Few of the women in the book are described without reference to their sexual attractiveness (or UNattractiveness). To sum up: THIS IS NOT A HISTORY BOOK, and it's NOT JOURNALISM. It's a memoir, and should be read as such: one man's HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE account of an ultimately sad chapter in American history.
