I got Fleischer's book at the University Library, and I'm glad I didn't pay for it. It is not especially well-written, and Fleischer doesn't seem to know if he wants to focus on bias in the media, his time at the White House, anecdotes, or justifying the War in Iraq.

The book has some good observations, and the one that really struck me was this:

• The media has two biases, one to conflict, and one of the biases of those who write the news. Conservatives, Fleischer argues, would be just as bisased n reporting, and he calls for balance

Otherwise an entertaining book, but really only worth it if you are a fan of Ari's. Probably would have been better 3 or 5 years down the line, when his old boss is out of office.
