According to the media, Donald Trump could never become president. Now many are on a mission to prove he shouldn't be president. The Trump administration and the press are at war and as in any war, the first casualty has been truth. Bestselling author Howard Kurtz, host of Fox News's Media Buzz and former Washington Post columnist, offers a stunning expos of how supposedly objective journalists, alarmed by Trump's success, have moved into the opposing camp.

Kurtz's exclusive, in-depth, behind-the-scenes interviews with reporters, anchors, and insiders within the Trump White House reveal the unprecedented hostility between the media and the president they cover.

In Media Madness, you'll learn:

Why White House strategist Steve Bannon told Trump he is in danger of being impeached

How the love-hate relationship between the president and Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski turned entirely to hate

How Kellyanne Conway felt betrayed by journalists who befriended her and how she fought back

How elite, mainstream news reporters named and quoted openly express their blatant contempt for Trump

How Bannon tried to block short-lived Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci and why Trump soured on him

How Ivanka and Jared Kushner aren't the liberals the pundits want them to be and why Trump tried to discourage them from joining the White House

Why Trump believes some journalists harbor hatred for him and how some liberals despise his voters

How Trump is a far more pragmatic politician than the press often acknowledges (and how the press dismisses his flip-flops when he flops their way)

What Trump got wrong about Charlottesville and how Steve Bannon predicted the debacle

How the media consistently overreached on the Russian collusion scandal

Why Trump actually likes journalists, secretly meets with them, and allows the press unprecedented access

Why Reince Priebus couldn't do his job and the real reason he left the White House

How Sean Spicer privately berated journalists for bad reporting and why he and Kellyanne Conway were relentlessly attacked by the media

Never before has there been such an eye-opening, shocking look at what the White House and the media think about each other. It's not pretty. But it also makes for the most important political book of the year.

REVIEWS:

Mr. Kurtz has been trying to clue in Americans (for many years) how journalists have been used - and have willingly participated in government power struggles. This book is extremely timely with the Release The Memo movement (soon to be a released memo?). Anyone following the Release the Memo timeline and watched CNN NOT jump on this story when it broke on 1/18/18, and then Schiff and Feinstein sending threatening memos to facebook and twitter, telling them that the #releasethememo hashtag is being promoted on by Russian Bots (it's not) and asking to repress those people is really starting to understanding exactly everything Kurtz explains in Media Madness. And watching CNN's Chris Cuomo spout the same nonsense only crystallizes how media has nothing to do with truth and everything to do with status. With so many distractions (who is telling the truth, who do we believe?) - this book will help you understand how the media operates, distracts, and how to wade through "madness."
-Laura Freed

Shows the madness that is Main Street media these days. Issue by issue. If you want to understand why so many no longer read newspapers or watch tv news this e plains. The unbiased days of reporting are over.

Became my dog's new favorite
Color: Blue
This instantly became my dog's go-to toy, and thankfully it's lasted longer than I anticipated. He was excited to play with it immediately, of course, but he also continued to go to it over all the other toys he has. He loves to rip and tear, so I didn't think this would last more than a day, but incredibly it's been going for weeks. Granted, he's torn out the squeaker and some of the crinkly plastic, as well as most of the stuffing, but there's still a recognizable dinosaur-shaped toy hanging around that he still likes to play with. The squeaker is also different than most dog toys, it's larger and lower-pitched, so that variation is fun. There's lots of crinkly plastic in the tail and feet, so even after my dog ripped open the tail and gotten that plastic out, there's still more noise-making stuff left in there. The size and amount of stuffing is also great, as it's given him many days of things to tear apart.

My Dogs Love It!
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Do your dogs love a specific type of toy? Since my girls were puppies, they have preferred a specific material for toys. It is a soft, bubbly texture, usually in bright colors. It is soft for them and durable enough to survive even the toughest of playmates. All the toys made from this material also have a certain crinkle paper that drives both of my girls wild, and sometimes even include a squeaker. When I saw that this adorable dinosaur fit their favorite toy's qualities, I knew I had to get it for them! First, I want to talk about the quality. This dinosaur is adorable and designed for some tough play sessions. It is more reinforced than the name-brand toys I buy, which impressed me. While my girls rarely destroy toys, I find comfort in knowing that they will likely get bored with a toy before destroying it. What shocked me more was the squeaker. This company didn't go cheap; they went for a higher quality, large squeaker that is very loud and durable. My dogs have been playing with this for nearly two hours straight, and the squeaker has been going strong. If you don't like loud squeakers, though, be warned, it is very loud and isn't stop working anytime soon! Overall, this toy has been a big hit and way cheaper than what I can buy at local pet stores. With the quality and how much my girls love it, it has been a bargain and well worth it! This is a toy that we will be purchasing more of soon.

Rawr!
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
My dogs love this toy; they have been playing with it for a few days, and surprisingly, it has been durable enough to withstand most of the torture. it has a fun squeaker and thankfully not too much filler, which I am thankful to have to follow behind to pick up. This is a good value toy. My dogs can usually tear a toy up in seconds but for some reason, they have chosen to keep this dinosaur alive!

Not for Aggressive Chewers
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Cute stuffed dino with one large squeaker in the body and crinkle paper in the feet and tail. The right size for medium to large dogs. Riley was eager to play tug-of-war with this toy when I first gave it to her. Five minutes later the novelty had worn off and she went to her toy basket to bring out her usual favorites. Being plush, this is not really a toy for aggressive chewers--after only 5 minutes she had torn open a seam and ripped off part of the tag. I'll continue to let her play with it until stuffing starts coming out (which shouldn't be long).

Great Value Toy
Color: Crinkle Duck (Blue), Size: Large, Color: Crinkle Duck (Blue), Size: Large
This toy has been one of my dog’s absolute favorites. He gets excited every time he sees it and will carry it around the house, toss it in the air, and keep himself entertained for a long time. The shape and texture seem perfect for him, and it quickly became one of his go-to toys over everything else in his basket. What I really like is that it holds up reasonably well for the price. It’s definitely not indestructible, and after a lot of play, it will sometimes start to rip—usually around the feet first since that’s where my dog tends to grab and chew the most. But honestly, considering how affordable it is, I don’t mind replacing it when needed. It’s inexpensive enough that rebuying feels worth it because he genuinely loves it that much. I’d rather keep buying a toy he is obsessed with than spend more on something that just sits untouched. It’s fun, cute, and keeps him happy, which is what matters most. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it for dogs who love plush toys and playful chewing.
