"I love this book. When other U.S. reporters were licking Ken Lay's loafers, Leopold went for Enron's thieving throat. Leopold is a journalist who insists on real investigative reporting
inside documents, inside sources, hard knife-in-the-gut evidence
detective-style reporting that is just about illegal in the U.S.A. Bravo and my personal Pulitzer to Jason Leopold. Every journalist in America should read this, then ... Read morequit or riot."
Greg Palast, author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy "Investigative superstar Jason Leopold spares no one, least of all himself, in this devastatingly accurate first-hand expose. News Junkie provides the best account so far of how, and why, current American journalism has become so pharisaical, spineless, and detached from the truth."
T. D. Allman, journalist and author of Rogue State, Unmanifest Destiny, and Finding Florida "Having told the truth for years as a first-rate reporter, Jason Leopold now comes completely clean about himself and also sheds light on his imperiled profession. A riveting account of just how hard the truth can be."
Mark Crispin Miller, author of Cruel and Unusual: Bush/Cheney's New World Order "Frighteningly honest. What Anthony Bourdain did to the world of cooking in Kitchen Confidential, Leopold will do to the world of journalism. It's Sid & Nancy meets All the President's Men."
Rob Cohen, coauthor of Etiquette for Outlaws "This memoir is one of the most brutally honest books I've ever read. You will grow to believe, and cheer on, this flawed hero as he gains a liberating knowledge of himself."
