    The second book is about how the news cycle is broken. A lot about write-first, verify later. Or manufactured outrage. Or straight up falsehoods.

    It’s a good book, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    The first book is almost a specific case of it…Hulk Hogans sex tape scandal, and the people who bankrolled his lawsuit against Gawker because of a completely unrelated personal grudge.
