I think an exhaustively complete record would be impossible - there's just too much to include, even for the relatively short period of time covered, even if the other 2 purposes of the book were dropped. For #2, I think Katy opened with a bit too much too quickly. I really didn't care about the French boyfriend. But I did value the information - a large part of what Trump did was dehumanize journalists, siccing his supporters on them and generally harassing them both in person and online. Hopefully its harder to leave death threats when you're reminded Katy is a person. For #3, a little more information would be welcome. I think Trumpists take any challenge or question as an attack, and progressives are inclined to take a lack of hostility as support. (To be fair, that complicit tolerance usually is tacit support, but the circumstances with journalists are unique.) Katy's book is fair and accurate, with little bias. It doesn't break anything new for folks who have been paying attention (and it'd be pretty gross if it did), so I think most people will find it a waste of time. The largest flaw with the book is the non-linear report. Flashbacks to parents are fine, but jumping back and forth between the beginning and end of the campaign really wasn't necessary and obscures development.

HTML: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Compelling... this book couldn't be more timely." ?? Jill Abramson, New York Times Book Review From the Recipient of the 2017 Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism Called "disgraceful," "third-rate," and "not nice" by Donald Trump, NBC News correspondent Katy Tur reported on??and took flak from??the most captivating and volatile presidential candidate in American history. Katy Tur lived out of a suitcase for a year and a half, following Trump around the country, powered by packets of peanut butter and kept clean with dry shampoo. She visited forty states with the candidate, made more than 3,800 live television reports, and tried to endure a gazillion loops of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer"??a Trump rally playlist staple. From day 1 to day 500, Tur documented Trump's inconsistencies, fact-checked his falsities, and called him out on his lies. In return, Trump repeatedly singled Tur out. He tried to charm her, intimidate her, and shame her. At one point, he got a crowd so riled up against Tur, Secret Service agents had to walk her to her car. None of it worked. Facts are stubborn. So was Tur. She was part of the first women-led politics team in the history of network news. The Boys on the Bus became the Girls on the Plane. But the circus remained. Through all the long nights, wild scoops, naked chauvinism, dodgy staffers, and fevered debates, no one had a better view than Tur. Unbelievable is her darkly comic, fascinatingly bizarre, and often scary story of how America sent a former reality show host to the White House. It's also the story of what it was like for Tur to be there as it happened, inside a no-rules world where reporters were spat on, demeaned, and discredited. Tur was a foreign correspondent who came home to her most foreign story of all. Unbelievable is a must-read for anyone who still wakes up and wonders, Is this rea Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
