Fools for Scandal
How the Media Invented Whitewater
by Gene Lyons
Review this book!
Based partly on a piece for "Harper's" in October of 1994, this book takes on the media's responsibility for the Whitewater scandal. Lyons argues that "New York Times" reporter Jeff Gerth launched an investigation based on little more than innuendo and that the media continued the feeding frenzy.

Publisher Notes
Lyons, a columnist for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, shows how The New York Times led, and the rest of the nation followed, in its coverage of Whitewater. This book examines the motives and the facts that have kept Whitewater in congressional hearings for a record two years and on the front pages of national newspapers since 1992.
Media Reviews
"This is a nasty book, not because it challenges the reporting of the Whitewater story, but because it assaults the integrity of the journalists who did the reporting. It is a smear job unworthy of any fair-minded critic of the press. Surely the newspapers got SOMETHING right."
