Praise For…


"A worthwhile foray into understanding and responding to the Trump era"--Publishers Weekly

"Staggeringly good. . . . This is straight journalism at it's best."--Betsy Robinson, author of The Last Will & Testament of Zelda McFigg

"In the words of W.E.B. Du Bois, we – not just Americans – must give up the “fear of the Truth, [the] childish belief in the efficacy of lies as a method of human uplift.” This, ultimately, is “Bad Stories”’ anguished call."—Christine Mungai, Nieman Storyboard
