Title: Little new in News
Review: What a disappointment. While reading Mnookin's overlong, dated tome it's difficult to cull whose ego is actually larger; his or Mr. Raines. How else could one justify writing such a fluffy, obviously padded book about old news? Mnookin's a media insider writing about media insiderness and his book will undoubtedly garner a good amount of [good] press, but Hard News delivers little new insight or anything that makes relevent today this seemingly ages ago scandal. What it does is make one wonder how, in this sad age for the book world, a more worthy, less pretentious work by a less connected writer could come to our attention.
Is the review positive or negative?
