Atrios has done a great public service in listing books he thinks have informed the "netroots'" view of the media. He includes Alterman, Haynes Johnson, Conason/Lyons, Marvin Kalb, David Brock, Wolcott and Boehlert, among others.
Like Atrios, I haven't read them all, although at least five are on my shelves. They provide a narrative (not the narrative; neither he nor I suggest that) of what the media's been doing for the past ten or more years.
Anyway, check out his list. Next time you're at the library or in the local bookstore, pick up a copy of one or more of the books.
He missed one I'd add, by the way: Frank Rich's The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth from 9/11 to Katrina.
