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.
