Rating:  Summary: The Negative Reviews Prove the Whole Point Review: Just started reading the book, and have thus far found it to be absolutely brilliant writing. Logged on to Amazon.com to have a look at customer reviews, and what do I find but a bunch of name-calling attacks which trash the book without ever mentioning or refuting a single argument or piece of evidence offered in the book itself. I find this to be absolutely hilarious, since it is exactly this kind of name-calling whining, free of all logic and argument, that the book was written against. I can't believe the negative reviewers have read so much as the introduction, for they are proving the whole thesis, which is already quite well established with numerous examples and excellent rhetorical style by page 15. I'd be laughing harder if it weren't for the fact that my vote in our endangered republic is canceled by folks such as these.
Rating:  Summary: All in all, an enjoyable read. Review: I found the uniquely homogenous string of single star reviews to Ms. Coulter's book so unusual that I figured it must be an organized smear campaign. If her book was so frightening as to evoke such vile and mean spirited response, well then, there must be something in there that is so blindingly truthful that it scares small minded people. Well, I read it cover to cover and interestingly enough, there really wasn't anything that I found all that objectionable. I found myself disagreeing with a good bit of it while other parts made me laugh out loud. Perhaps not intentionally, there were sections that made me ponder my own paranoid illusions. I found conflict, humor, empathy and some of the zaniest postulates this side of the X-files. Bottom line is, wether or not I agreed with any of it, I enjoyed it, which is a whole lot more that I can say for a lot of highly rated, politically correct books that I've read lately.
Rating:  Summary: Revealing and well-documented Review: I thought I knew of most of the instances of liberal bias by the media in recent times, but, boy was I wrong. Coulter documents EVERYTHING as she paints a revealing picture of the true state of journalism in America today. If you doubted that the media are overwhelmingly slanted to the left, you'll be convinced it's true after reading this book. Coulter uses a very powerful weapon to expose the bias among the media ... she uses their own, irrefutable words!
Rating:  Summary: So Far a bullseye Review: I'm only two-thirds through the book. She is definitely hard on the libs (particularily the newsies), no doubt about it. But she backs up every opinion with example after example, footnoted throughout. I'm guessing that the first 6 reviewers have not read the book (dem hacks, perhaps) judging by the lack of specitivity in their criticisms. Claims that it is incoherent or illogical are absurd, as anyone whose read even the 1st 3 pages could attest. Fun stuff!
Rating:  Summary: Right on Ann !!!! Review: Ann Coulter does a great job in this book, which is an excellent read from cover to cover. Obviously I did enjoy this book and would strongly recommend to anyone. Read the other reviews of this book and see how many liberals not only bought it, but use the liberal playbook and launch personal attacks at Ann Coulter with their book reviews for writing the truth. I am sure that Ann Coulter will be laughing at the liberals all the way to the bank.... GO ANN !!!
Rating:  Summary: The truth hurts (liberals), but it's still the truth Review: Ann Coulter's book is full of facts that definitively show the mean spirited and dishonest side of liberalism. Her prose is as tight as drum. Her logic and facts slice through opposing arguments like a Sith Lord's double light saber bifurcating the Philsbury Doughboy. This books hosts the standard bogus liberal stereotypes of conservatives on the petard of their own irrational words and hypocritical deeds. And it's a fun, fun read. Highly recommended
Rating:  Summary: Yet another best seller which nobody has read Review: Just like Rush's books, and like the book 'Bias' the liberals come out of the woodwork and 'slander' the authors' personas saying nobody shares these 'right wing' ideas and nobody is reading nor should anybody read these books. How did they end up on the best seller lists? I recommend people ignore the bias and actually read the books to form their own opinions. What a unique concept.
Rating:  Summary: In Praise of Ann Coulter's Latest Book Review: Read an unfavorable review of this book and it will certainly have been written by a liberal. Ann Coulter's piercing and probing book speaks the truth about the liberal bias in this country especially with regard to the major news networks as well as the liberal propaganda used against conservatives in the American political arena; lies, lies and more lies. Tell enough lies over and over again and people will begin to believe them. Due to Ms. Coulter's meticulous research, she is able stand behind everything she has stated in her book. Ms. Coulter is wise beyond her years and I would recommend this book to anyone who is ready to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. For 26 years I myself rang the bells and banged the gongs of the liberalist ideals and reviled the conservatives, dismissing them as quickly as I would some annoying insect. Mark my words, the demise of our great nation will not be because of the pollutants in our atmosphere, nor attacks by terrorists, but will be a direct result of the liberalist ideals of "political correctness".
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful Display of Invective Review: Good political invective is rare. Ann Coulter has written a book that is full of the good stuff. She gets a little repetitious in the end, but the attacks just never stop. She even makes some good points along the way. If you are looking for a balanced appraisal of media bias, give this book the miss. If you like firm opinions well-stated (even when you disagree with them), then this will be a rewarding read. Miss Coulter is not trying to win over the left's hearts and minds, she is rallying the troops on the right. I expect the points she raises here to be brought up again by other rightists throughout the coming election year.
Rating:  Summary: Constantly Witty and Enlightening Review: "Slander" is a no holds barred work of tremendous wit and intelligence. Although there are points which I wish were more thoroughly supported, the book in total was an excellent dissection of the omnipresent skewing of facts by the elite media. Conservatives will enjoy this, knee jerk liberals probably won't.
