This title is printed to order. This book may have been self-published. If so, we cannot guarantee the quality of the content.

If in doubt check either the author or publisher’s details as we are unable to accept any returns unless they are faulty. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Facts, spin, and the slow death of common sense-served with a scalpel and a smirk. Breaking news has a body count-and this book performs the autopsy.

News Autopsy & Media Forensics: Power Games opens the morgue drawer on the biggest political stories of the past year and asks one simple question: how did everything get this stupid?

Through eleven "case files," Michael digs into the headlines you thought you understood-Ukraine aid fatigue, border busing stunts, censorship crusades, proxy wars, and near-miss assassinations-to uncover what really happened after the cameras moved on. Every chapter reconstructs the scene, sifts the evidence, and identifies the usual suspects: politicians, pundits, and platforms that profit from outrage while pretending to manage it.

This isn't fiction. Every story here is drawn from verifiable reporting, stripped of spin, and seasoned with equal-opportunity sarcasm. The right blames the left, the left blames the right, and the rest of us are left wondering who swapped the news feed for a reality show.

With forensic wit and gallows humor, Michael dissects how truth became a stage prop, how public trust flatlined, and how both sides keep digging up the corpse to argue over who killed it first. The result is a brisk, biting read-part investigation, part therapy session for anyone exhausted by modern media's 24-hour melodrama.

If you've ever doom-scrolled through a breaking story and thought, "This can't be real,"-welcome to the autopsy.
