Hate Inc.: Why Today's Media Makes Us Despise One Another Free Audiobook Download by Matt Taibbi


"Hate Inc." is a book about how media has slowly turned from reporting news to promulgating propaganda. It does this primarily by fanning the flames of hatred and contempt for everyone outside of their own insular bubble, encouraging us to hate one another by playing off of our biases and aspirations.

Hate Inc. is a chilling new audiobook by Matt Taibbi, who has been writing about politics and finance for Rolling Stone since 2009. What makes this book different is that it's told through the perspective of an artificial intelligence program created in the future to analyze and interpret media from our present day.

When did we decide to be divided? What is the history of our divide and conquer mentality and what does it have to do with media? These are all questions Matt Taibbi asks for his book, Hate Inc. Media shapes our attitude and behavior in so many subtle ways. The way we consume media has changed dramatically over time, from newspapers to television to social media.

In today's society, hate and fear are some of the most profitable commodities in the market. We're literally buying into a system which makes us want to hate and fear one another. This book takes an in-depth look at how this has all happened and what we can do about it.

Hate Inc. is an audiobook by Matt Taibbi that discusses the hate crimes that have been committed in the name of religion and politics in the U.S. and elsewhere, as well as how these beliefs can be manipulated by media to push a biased agenda.

"In the past thirty years," says Taibbi, "we have seen a remarkable transformation in the media landscape--a world where one of the most powerful forces shaping society is no longer openly accountable to anyone but itself."
