Book Reviews of Right Is Wrong: How the Lunatic Fringe Hijacked America, Shredded the Constitution, and Made Us All Less Safe
Book Review: She is accurate, but she still is only interested in her big ego and her business, than for real change
Summary: 4 Stars
Always had a lot of respect for Arianna and I am a total Democrat. I used to read her online news mag every day. At the point where she went after John Edward for having an affair, like she is the editor in choef of the Enquirer, I had enough of her infotainment. There are so many more hypocritical sex scandals on GOP side, and huge issues about rigging elections and profiteering of the war, that everything she writes about now is inevitably seen as a way to cash in and not follow her principles.
I am over her now. Her journalism is infotainment and has little integrity, no matter how Democratic she appears to be.
So what is her efforts in exposing the GOP lunatic fringe all about when she can't help her big ego from getting some phony journalistic validation for John Edwards, who is young attractive man and has a wife who unfortunately has health issues and probably has no sex drive? Arianna, How about the Media gave you equal attention when it turned out that she was married to a gay guy? Hypocrisy is trendy on both side of the aisle.
Summary of Right Is Wrong: How the Lunatic Fringe Hijacked America, Shredded the Constitution, and Made Us All Less Safe
With her trademark passion, intelligence, and devastating wit, Huffington Post editor in chief Arianna Huffington tackles the issues that are crucial to this year's presidential election and, even more so, to the fate of the country.Huffington makes the case that America has been hijacked from within by a radical element-the "lunatic fringe" of the Right that has taken over the Republican Party. Despite holding views at odds with the majority of Americans, these zealots have given us an endless war in Iraq, a sputtering economy, a health care system on life support, a war on science and reason, and an immoral embrace of torture.
But they haven't done it on their own: they have been enabled by a compliant media that act as if there is no such thing as truth and are more interested in cozying up to those in power than in holding them accountable, and by feckless Democrats who have allowed themselves to be intimidated into backing down again and again.
Both a withering indictment and a hopeful call to arms, Right Is Wrong is an explosive, boldly incisive work that will help set the national agenda.
