Summary: Interesting, but ultimately tiresome
Review: Coulter's book is meticulously documented with examples of the excesses of the liberal media as well as those of their Democratic hero-leaders. I always love to see the much merited bashing of the media's hypocrisy and double standards in print. There is also some interesting analysis as to the liberal elite's thought processes. However, style here is definitely lacking. Coulter drives her points home with the subtlety of a jackhammer and overall this book becomes a tiresome read. Her venom towards liberals is understandable, but she portrays moderate Republican politicians, and even some pretty conservative ones, as little better than bootlicking heretics. Never in a million years would I have expected that someone would not consider Bill O'Reilly and Pat Robertson to be conservatives. ...

Summary: Someone should HELP this woman!
Review: I've watched Ann Coulter on TV with a combination of amusement and wonderment. Her verbal tirades, where she lowers her voice an octave or two, and spews off conservative venom, attacking personally anyone or anything to the left of Attila the Hun are hilarious to watch! I was curious to see if in her writing she gave more thought to her attacks, and more substance. After reading this book, the only conclusion I could come to is that this woman [might be] seriously mentally ill. I am not kidding!...

Summary: Blonde challenge to Rush & Mona.
Review: A "Republican Trial Lawyer from NY, NY" said:

Liberals should read this book (perhaps getting it at the library to avoid paying royalties :>)

-----------------

Abbie Hoffman had a different theory about how to acquire a book. . .

-----------------

This FDR Democrat trial lawyer from the Upper West Side bought the book and he suggests that this book proves Mark Twain correct: one should never see how sausage, laws or Right-wing Blonde's (popular books) are made.

Ann H. Coulter defines Mendacity...she creates simple slippery slope arguments and then she babbles on to prove that the last true Pundit of the Right with a Brain was Bill Buckley.

Impressive? Only for her royalty income. This week.

If any of the folks who enjoy this book think it contains substance . . . I suggest that the footnotes be fact-checked. Popular right-wing books do not require this standard of care (see, e.g. "Dutch" ).

This law journal technical editor (in law school) would have returned the manuscript for fact checking.

For all of you who love this book: just buy more copies. Mona and Rush will be unhappy at the drop in their sales, but Ann is a Blonde!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ann Coulter does it again
Review: This is an extremely enlightening look back on the liberal lies of the media. She is extremely knowledgeable and well documented. It is disturbing for us conservatives to read these lies from throughout history, but the truth must be known.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This Book Really Deserves NO STARS
Review: Ann Coulter's hateful, infalmmatory broadside is all hype and no substance (kinda like her conservative agenda). She picks alot of fights and throws alot of bombs, but never really makes any coherent arguments aside from her basic (unproven) premise that "Liberals are Bad." This book isn't about meaningful public discourse, it's about namecalling, hype, and self-promotion. Ann Coulter does little else here besides slander and attack her fellow Americans. For shame!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Liberal news slander uncovered - Coulter's finest offering
Review: This is a tremendous book for any conservative who is tired of the daily and nightly liberal blatherings of Maureen Dowd, Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather, etc., ad nauseum.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny, brilliant, on the money
Review: Ann Coulter writes in a sharp, riveting style that is well-documented to boot. You won't take Democrats or liberals seriously after reading this (though take them seriously enough to vote them out of office).

If you enjoy strong, engaging attacks against the obfuscation, lies, and ... slander... of the Left, you'll enjoy Ann Coulter.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good book, but.....
Review: First off, I am more so a conservative than a liberal, but I cross over on one or two issues. As you would expect, conservatives are going to love this book, and liberals are going to hate it. Her hardest hitting points have to do with the media's role in the 2000 Presidential election fiasco, and the left wing bias in the media. She puts forth a pretty persuasive argument. Everything she has written is backed up by references, over 700 of them if I remember correctly. On the down side, I would have toned down the name calling(I dont think that helps her), and when she refers to abortion as "baby killing", I just cringe. I tried to review this book objectively, unlike some of the other reviewers.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The New "Right Lite"
Review: An amusing book, but hardly worth the time & expense. This stuff IS the media mainstream now, the political equivalent of so-called "reality" shows. Classic liberalism died along with Hubert Humphrey's defeat in 1968, so conservatives have been forced for years to create a paper enemy out of a mildly left centrism in order to have something to fight. Liberalism now is merely tolerance slanted toward certain favored "identity" movements, an easy target indeed. Lightweight liberalism begets this sort of "right lite" commentary. Coulter can say anything she wants with impunity, because there's no Paul O'Dwyer types around anymore to kick her ... for it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Is This Book For Real?
Review: Ann Coulter, America's Little Aryan Doll, is as silly as the "duck and cover" turtle. This book is nothing but pages of whining lies. Of course, if you tell the lies enough (e.g., "always fair and balanced") the non-thinkers out there will swallow it 100 percent.

All readers of this book should remind themselves of the following:
1. In the 80's, Ronald Reagan not only slashed away at anti-trust laws, but he also got rid of the Fairness Doctrine--supposedly because it infringed on free speech (opening the way for massive buyouts of media organizations by conservatives).

NOTE: Before Reagan ended the Fairness Doctrine, it was against the law for the broadcast media to be liberally slanted. If it was, the media companies risked losing thier FCC licenses. So much for that "liberal media" myth.

2. Ronald Reagan was no idiot--he wanted to bring a right-wing bias to the mostly centered media (he didn't like the O'Reilly, Hannity, Coulter type of brash questioning delivered by Sam Donaldson). With the help of his CIA director, William Casey (early Capital Cities co-founder) and other corporate big wigs, ABC was "taken over" by Capital Cities.
3. Enter Rush Limbaugh and his EIB/WABC broadcasts (later, Roger Ailes--runs Fox News--produced Rush's tv show).
4. Conservatives bought up AM radio signals hand over fist.
5. Enter the Liddy's, Boortz's, Hannity's and North's.
6. They are paid to keep the lies going by telling the "folks" that the media is liberal--over and over and over and over and over.
7. Corporate America is in bed with conservative politics. It wants its tax cuts.
8. Corporate America would be foolish to spend money marketing and promoting liberal pundits that will get on the airwaves and trash corporate America.
9. Where are the big radio and book deals for liberal pundits like Alan Colmes? They're nowhere, because they can't get conserative corporate sponsors like Rush and Sean and Ollie get.
10. Actual research (something the author has no need for) indicates a slant to the right in the media with the exception of PBS.

One can only wonder who pays authors like Coulter to perpetuate lies. Such lies only make fools out of the poor individuals who believe them. Fortunately, when pundits like Coulter are actually face-to-face with "real" journalists, they flounder to the point of pity. One shining element comes through loud and clear in this book: If the media isn't 100 percent conservative--it's liberal.
