"Audition" by Barbara Walters

book review by Riley Burnham 4/29/2024

a spin-doctor(!)

that's what i make of it

i started out quite enjoying this book, breezing through the first half [13 hours] being satisfied w/ the content

somewhere after, we get into the political BS, & it becomes evident that, as the mainstream news stories are fabricated; filled w/ lies & deceit [misdirection], we have here one of the main purveyors

her job, it seems, is to sell the fictitious stories as real, which makes her a liar

so that's my take, after fast-forwarding through the final hours of near-dribble [let's hear more about Monica Lewinsky!] -- that this book is essentially propaganda, & that Mrs. Walters probably got hers for serving it

[2.5x is a good speed for this]
