A St. Louis newspaper prints reviews of theatrical performances that never took place-they had been canceled due to bad weather. New York newspaper reporters plant evidence in the apartment of the man accused of kidnapping the Lindbergh baby and then call him a liar in the courtroom once the trial begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are just a few of the many wrongs that have been reported as right over two centuries of American history. All the News Unfit to Print puts the media under the microscope to expose the many types of mistakes, hoaxes, omissions, and lies that have skewed our understanding of the past, and reveals the range of reasons and motivations--from boredom and haste to politics and greed-behind them. Reviewing a host of journalistic slip-ups involving Ben Franklin, Mark Twain, William Randolph Hearst, Theodore H. White, and many others, this book covers the stories behind the stories to refine incorrect \"first drafts\" of history from the Revolutionary War era to more recent times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eAll the News Unfit to Print\u003c\/i\u003e is a rollicking joyride that careens through the ridiculous, the odd, and the serious malfeasances in American journalistic history and reminds us of the difference between news and facts.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eNeal Gabler\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eWalt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 01, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53042486608179,"sku":"9781683366447","price":25.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/KpoLWv1ToC9781683366447_e760a8aa-eecb-4379-808b-d21007fef0d5.webp?v=1770836948","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/all-the-news-unfit-to-print-how-things-were-and-how-they-were-reported-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
