I Read All About It

The Man Who Owns the News: Inside the Secret World of Rupert Murdoch by Michael Wolff

November 22, 2021 by Jake Leave a Comment

This book read like one Bond villain describing the machinations of another Bond villain with relish and glee. I read the first and last of Michael Wolff’s Trump books coming away unimpressed. Wolff gets the hot gossip, such as it is, by being an unrepentant jock sniffer but that’s all these books are: gossip. I never thought I’d read him again but as I’ve cast around for books on Rupert Murdoch in light of my love of the tv show Succession, this one kept coming up […]

Trump’s Bunker

Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency by Michael Wolff

July 25, 2021 by Jake Leave a Comment

Large parts of this book, I really enjoyed. For those of us made miserable by the 4-year mistake that was the Donald Trump presidency, there’s nothing better than seeing him flail about helplessly, our febrile democratic checks finally providing an exit ramp to this nightmare. I had always eschewed Trump/Nazi comparisons, mainly because they detract from the awfulness of American history in favor of grafting on another racist society. But if there’s one thing I have found similar from reading The Rise and Fall of the […]

No, you get off MY lawn

Television Is the New Television by Michael Wolff

January 19, 2019 by octothorp Leave a Comment

Man did I dislike this book.  Based on the jacket and the title I was expecting a treatise on the nature of content as driven by the state of each method of delivery – TV in the era of even faster communication. I wanted an actual exploration of the one and only thing most of us know about Marshall McLuhan – the medium is the message now that media has changed so much – but instead I got a bunch of inside baseball from someone […]

Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff

October 11, 2018 by Caitlin_D 1 Comment

You’ve probably forgotten about Michael Wolff’s Trump expose Fire and Fury as well as the explosive media surge its release caused in January because 10 months in the Trump White House is the equivalent to 10 years in anyone else’s.  Personally I was reminded of Fire and Fury by a friend who was reading it on the beach this past August so when I was looking for my next read (besides the dozen or so books currently unread on my bookshelf) I sought out this already outdated publication. How […]

Boss Baby

Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff

January 13, 2018 by Giovanni's Roomba Leave a Comment

For a long while I’ve thought Donald Trump was the stupidest person ever to be elected President of the United States, but Michael Wolff’s book opened my eyes: now I think he’s one of the stupidest people alive. And not just stupid! Willful, petty, cruel, belligerent, incurious, capricious, infantile, and dogmatic, for starters, a thesaurusful of poisonous adjectives: basically every quality you wouldn’t want in the lowest-level employee, let alone the most powerful person on Earth. “Fire and Fury” isn’t straight reportage: it often has […]

Not the president we want, but possibly the president we deserve

Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff

January 12, 2018 by ingres77 Leave a Comment

In all the madness of 2016, I forgot that so much of the talk in the first month was about how deeply Trump didn’t want to be in the White House. That the campaign was all a ruse to create a new media organization run by Roger Ailes and Steve Bannon, with Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, and Satan (citation needed) at the helm. That view is reaffirmed, here, and gives me flashbacks to how terrible a prospect that would’ve been. Look, Donald Trump looked like […]
