Critical Acclaim for How Crusading for Diversity Has Corrupted American Journalism
by William McGowan, Encounter Books (1-893554-28-7) “In his impressive new book…McGowan argues, in case-by-case detail, that diversity ideology has corrupted the news room.”
—John Leo, US News & World Report “Deserving of best-seller status...[McGowan] illustrates, to devastating effect, just how corrupted the great newspapers of the country have become.”
—Mona Charen, Towhall.com “Likely to spark controversy…Skeptics of multiculturalism will love this book and lefties will love to hate it.”
—Publisher’s Weekly “Through thorough and balanced reporting, in careful prose, McGowan shows how quota hiring and diversity practices have discouraged good journalism in favor of bad.”
—Michael Barone, Senior Writer, U.S. News & World Report and author of The New Americans: How the Melting Pot Can Work Again “Mr. McGowan has authored a remarkable book which we (in the news business) all should read.”
—Jerry Nachman, Executive Editor, MSNBC on “Hardball with Chris Matthews” “[COLORING THE NEWS] is a disturbing account of how in the name of diversity the purpose of reporting events has changed from informing readers of the facts to advancing the newspapers’ chosen causes and attempting to alter the readers perception of reality.”
—Pete Du Pont, OpinionJournal.com “[Of three recent books on media bias], McGowan offers the best explanation for journalistic malpractice.”
—Thomas Sowell, Townhall.com “McGowan has written a very substantial book, one that tells the truth about a very disturbing ---and sadly persistent---trend in U.S. journalism.”
—John Corry, National Review “COLORING THE NEWS certainly packs a wallop against the political correctness dominating many newsrooms of the national media…It’s an excellent distillation of at least a decade’s worth of journalism mangled by political correctness.”
—Brent Bozell, Creators Syndicate “This cogent, nonrhetorical and nonpartisan book should be required reading for anyone concerned about media bias.”
—Booklist (starred review) “BIAS is the more popular. [But] COLORING THE NEWS is more substantive, thoughtful and balanced. Both show the major media are badly biased, and the bias is both ideological and partisan.”
—Jack Kelly, New York Post “Meticulous and sharply written, McGowan's book documents how the media's well-intentioned pursuit of diversity has proved a disaster, squelching debate on the key cultural issues of our time, from race and gender to immigration.”
—David Isaac, Investor's Business Daily “How are journalists, who are professional skeptics, so easily gulled? [McGowan's] answer is flagged by his subtitle: Something has gone terribly wrong with the noble goal of diversifying American newsrooms....McGowan is right to argue that journalists should be investigating the race industry, not working for it.”
—Jim Sleeper, Los Angeles Times Book Review “COLORING THE NEWS is even better and more thoughtful than BIAS. I commend it to you.”
—Roger Hedgecock, RUSH LIMBAUGH SHOW “COLORING THE NEWS hits hard where Bernie Goldberg [BIAS] pulls his punches.”
—Jack Riccardi, KTSA San Antonio, TX “COLORING THE NEWS is even more revealing than BIAS. We are fortunate to be in the vanguard of telling you about it.”
—Steve Kane, WWNN Miami, FL “Hard hitting and eye opening. I recommend [COLORING THE NEWS] to you.”
—Steve Gerhlein, KTSA San Antonio, TX “Let’s do for [COLORING THE NEWS] what we did for Bernie Goldberg’s BIAS. Let’s make it Number One and make it stay Number One. I want you to get this book.”
—Keith Rush, WASO New Orleans, LA “Go out and insult the New York Times. Buy COLORING THE NEWS and make it number one.”
