"A former Times White House and investigative correspondent, Robert M. Smith, discloses how some stories make it to print, some do not, how the filters work, and how the paper may have suppressed the most important U.S. political story of the day-Watergate"-- Provided by publisher.
Half of all Americans do not trust the media, and many Americans believe the media are to blame for the country's division. Smith, a former New York Times White House and investigative correspondent, takes a look behind the scenes at some of the biggest stories in the history of journalism. In doing so, he traces his arc from naïveté to cynicism, from covering the White House to leaving journalism for Yale Law School. -- adapted from jacket -- adapted from Amazon info
