Top Stories from MediaCulture on AlterNet April 4th, 2008 From the editors: This week, some really first-rate stories and an important announcement in the Media Culture Article. AlterNet announced the launch of its book publishing arm. We're publishing five books this year, starting with "Young Dick Cheney: Great American" a wickedly funny faux-biography that recounts little Dick Cheney's youthful lust for guns, oil and the girl of his dreams. You can read more about it in Executive Editor Don Hazen's article in this Article. Additionally, we've published a fascinating excerpt from David Brock and Paul Waldman's ew book, Free Ride: John McCain and the Media detailing the bizarre history of how a reliably conservative -- and some say, crooked -- senator got royal media treatment and became the "maverick" that journalists portray him to be today. Also in this Article don't miss the important story by Bill Berkowitz exploring the murky doings of Freedom's Watch, the huge Right-Wing smear organization, and Eileen Jones's brilliant and funny review of the film, Stop Loss.
