Summary: Liberals beware
Review: This book is awesome! Read it in one night. It really made me think and understand the liberal bias in this country. Everyone should read this book twice.

Summary: Investigative Thinkers, Unite!
Review: Ann Coulter has done an excellent job of flushing "sound-bite" journalism down the toilet, providing the reader with a multitude of detailed substantiation for inane liberal lies and left-leaning reporters. "Slander" should be required reading for every journalism student and, dare I say, every journalist. At a minimum, it ought to teach them to guard against the bias to which they are so shamefully wooed by flashy politicians. Liberal readers will dismiss this book outright, insodoing fully supporting Ms. Coulter's proposition that they simply can't stand the truth.

Summary: Muddled screed...0 stars, actually...
Review: While biases, both Left & Right, do exist in the media, this is precisely the wrong book to shed light on the subject. Coulter has assembled a fine roadmap for those who want to take a potentially interesting idea and turn it into unidimensional screed utterly devoid of any semblance of either objective reasoning or actual debate.While complaining about Liberal ad hominem attacks, she launches anti-Liberal ad hominem attacks. While complaining about Liberal misrepresentations in the press, she repeatedly misquotes & alters her press references. She uses such cheap tricks as quoting the same article four times & implying the existence of four seperate articles; citing opinion colums as evidence hard news is biased...
The list goes on forever. If you think Rush Limbaugh is a deeply philisophical & introspective man, this book is for you. If you actually want to read an exploration of political ideals & their expression (and want the Conservative viewpoint), check out William Safire, or any number of lucid, erudite Conservative commentators that actually address an issue or two....

Summary: The truth shall set you free
Review: What a classy lady. She uses only quotes(and details direct references)as opposed to slander,lies,and half truths that so frequently issue from the media. Usually from unamed sources of course. On the acknowledgments page she thanks the "entire staff of the New York Times" (the bastion of liberalism)"without whom this book have been impossible(giggle). If you are religious,conservative,or both, this is a must read.

Summary: Pure hellfire for liberals!
Review: If you're a Republican, you'll love this book. Page after page of well-documented examples of liberal and DNC slander against conservatives and the GOP. The 35 or so pages of footnotes at the back of the book are a great example of the research and examination of facts sadly lacking in a lot of contemporary political writers. Ann Coulter fires off on the bias and slander found throughout the mainstream media directed at the American political right. If you're a liberal, watch out! Ann skewers your politics thoroughly on just about every fascinating page.

Summary: Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right
Review: How refreshing to see an overview of the scandal of the liberal leaning press, and media. I wasn't looking for a conservative hit piece and I am glad I didn't find one. Instead I discovered the biases were a much bigger problem than even I thought, as Ms Coulter so brilliantly outlines in this text. Set your political agendas aside and read this as an observer, and it will scare the pants off of you. The problem is almost beyond repair. I'll now look for other books by this author.

Summary: If You Believe Her on T.V., Ask Someone to Read it to You
Review: Ann Coulter must gotten ahold of the half of Limbaugh's brain formerly tied behind his back. She's managed to produce such a breathtakingly simple minded and factually challenged screed that she's practically inspired a new avocation. All over the web, one can find chat rooms, weblogs, and serious criticism that chronicle, page by page, many of the gross lies and distortions in "Slander"... If you're determined to waste your money/time on this piece of immature silliness, it would behoove you to do a little investigation. (See the non-profit ...for a comprehensive look at specific claims made in "Slander" and a handy tool to "unspin" much of what's in the print media nowadays.)
Only the truly gullible will be fooled or impressed with "Slander's" "research". Even the slightest debunking effort will reveal many of her sources as taken out of context, misinterpreted, etc.. Likewise her footnotes, while impressive looking at first glance, quickly render into a thin gruel of minimal citations. Did I mention the outright documentable, and documented falsehoods? The Nexus/Lexus search used to bolster her claims of media bias is just one notorious example.
Of course, Coulter was sure to include plenty of mindless generalities, titillating anti-Clinton invective, and liberal straw man caricatures with which to inflame her paranoid extremist fans. I could go on and on but the sheer quantity of...contained in this book is far to exhaustive and has been better covered elsewhere. So anyone too lazy to investigate the veracity of this book deserves what they get. A little extra dose of misinformation and ignorance, and a little less cash.
Wait a year and you'll find this one in the "dollar bin" for sure.
If you're the type who enjoys a good chuckle listening to Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Rielly and the other titans of the "Liberal Media", (I used to, but with GW in power, it's just depressing), this book is worth about a buck. Better yet, get a high speed tape so you won't have to waste your time as well as a buck.

Summary: Ann Coulter is right on the mark
Review: The left cannot stand the fact that America is growing more and more conservative. She is correct when she says liberals slant and distort the news. They do. Liberal media elites and the Democratic Party are joined at the hip.
This is a must read for those of us who are fed up with the liberal media and the left.

Summary: Hey, check this out: an OBJECTIVE review!
Review: I'm neither liberal nor conservative, Democrat nor Republican. I've noticed a large number of the reviews (particularly the negative reviews) seem to depend on the reviewer's political orientation. This is not such a review. The book picks up where Bernard Goldberg's "Bias" leaves off. Unlike Goldberg (who is liberal), Coulter is a tried-and-true conservative. The fact we know her political affliation up-front is refreshing, particularly given the ostensible (but in fact hard-to-find) objectivity of those would would disagree with her (e.g., the media!). The reason I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5 is because she is TOO complete in her analysis (rather than give one or two examples to prove a point, she might give ten or more). I mean she leaves absolutely no doubt whatsoever on the validity of her position, probably providing too much information (I'd hate to be in a debate with her). Every contention is well-sourced, with literally hundreds of end notes. The main point of the book is that much what you see and hear in the media is framed from a liberal perspective (i.e., positions the media consider to be mainstream are in fact liberal); rather than debate conservatives on ideas, liberals seem to default to name calling (somewhat prescient given the content of the negative reviews!); the media potray Republicans as stupid; the hypocrisy among media and liberals is dumbfounding; etc. She is relentless in taking the New York Times to task for its bias. Now, one could make the argument that her contentions and citations are one-sided, selectively leaving out information that would show more balance in the media, but I haven't heard anybody demonstrate or even contend this (until they do, you have to believe she's more or less right, and I do based on my own observations and her persuasive arguments). People who dismiss this book out-of-hand merely by denying the media are not liberal or even hilariously saying the media are conservative
tend not to accompany their remarks with any evidence to back up their statements. Coulter provides so much evidences that it's almost overwhelming. The book is a fairly quick read with so many specific examples it is hard to refute. If you're conservative, you'll lap it up; if you're liberal and don't like the truth, you'll hate it. If you're open-minded, you'll get a lot out of it.

Summary: Another surprise bestseller!
Review: Ann Coulter, the wild she-stallion of the American right, is kicking down doors all over town. And man, does she make me laugh. But like De Niro's Al Capone in the Untouchables says, "we laugh because it's funny and we laugh because it's true." The book's title is a bit misleading, in that it makes the book sound like a critique of media bias. Rather, it's about how the left argues. Or rather, how the left doesn't argue. Instead of arguing, the left labels its friends moderates and its enemies both extremists and stupid and attempts to stifle free speech in media it does not control. Coulter lays out her case with devastating wit and with numerous illuminating examples from recent history, such as the Clinton impeachment, the 2000 election debacle, the nomination of John Ashcroft for Attorney General and the rise of such alternative media icons as Rush Limbaugh and Matt Drudge. If you don't like Ann Coulter, this book won't make you like her any more. But if you're fed up with the anti-thought, pompous antics of leftist rhetoric, read _Slander_. Speaking truth to power was never so funny.
