"Trust Me I'm Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator is available on Amazon and out Jul 19th from Portfolio

"Ryan Holiday is part Machiavelli, part Ogilvy, and all results...this whiz kid is the secret weapon you've never heard of."
—Tim Ferriss, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 4-Hour Workweek

"A playbook for the dark arts of exploiting the media"
—Robert Greene, author of The 48 Laws of Power

"This book will make online media giants very, very uncomfortable. "
— Drew Curtis, founder, Fark.com

You've seen it all before. A malicious online rumor costs a company millions. A political sideshow derails the national news cycle and destroys a candidate. Some product or celebrity zooms from total obscurity to viral sensation. What you don't know is that someone is responsible for all this. Usually, someone like me.

I'm a media manipulator. In a world where blogs control and distort the news, my job is to control blogs—as much as any one person can.

In today's culture...
1) Blogs like Gawker, Buzzfeed and the Huffington Post drive the media agenda.
2) Bloggers are slaves to money, technology, and deadlines.
3) Manipulators wield these levers to shape everything you read, see and watch—online and off.

Why am I giving away these secrets? Because I'm tired of a world where blogs take indirect bribes, marketers help write the news, reckless journalists spread lies, and no one is accountable for any of it. I'm pulling back the curtain because I don't want anyone else to get blindsided.

I'm going to explain exactly how the media really works. What you choose to do with this information is up to you.

Shut up, Ryan Holiday. Stop trying to instigate. Everyone knows it's you.

[Warpspeedy]

You would trust him, if he would manipulate you really. The truth is often unbelievable, so people like you only beleive if its meanstream.

[Ryan Holiday]

ALL of them

One of the best and update books I've ever read about media system. I suggest to read the "introduction" and "conclusion" part of the book first. Page 1 to 7 and 230 to 236. Ryan Holiday is half MACHIAVELLI . But, if the purpose and goal would be moral, the means and tools become moral also. This book would be interesting to people who are interested in discovering how media works.
