Network Propaganda: Manipulation, Disinformation, and Radicalization in American Politics by Hal Roberts, Yochai Benkler, Robert Faris

5.0

This is the best book I have read so far on the interaction between right wing politics and media. The authors adopt a relatively neutral tone, are scrupulously transparent in describing their methods, and offer insights hard to find elsewhere. The authors admirably avoid hyperbolic narratives about Russian influence, the Alt-right, commercial algorithms and "internet echo chambers" while demonstrating the ways in which all of these factors are currently at play.
