Dissecting media's role in American political incivility.
"The Outrage Industry" could resonate with you if you're puzzled by the aggressive tone in political media and its consequences on society. The authors, Berry and Sobieraj, have sifted through the mechanics of what they term 'outrage rhetoric' to draw a line connecting it to the polarized nature of current political discourse. This book goes beyond just descriptions, delving into the origins and impacts of hyper-partisan media on both politics and personal interactions, potentially illuminating and adjusting how you consume political commentary.
