With Every Mistake Is Not Only A Collection Of The Very Best Of Dyer'S Recent Work, But An Examination Of How, Time And Again, The Media Skews Fact And Opinion, Wielding Formidable Influence On How We All Shape Our Own Thoughts. And Why Is So Much Of The Information Wrong? Is It Herd Instinct, Official Manipulation, Robber-Baron Owners With Ideological Obsessions - Or Just The Conflict Between The Inherently Bitty, Short-Term Nature Of News Reporting And Analysis And The Longer Perspectives Needed To Understand What Is Actually Going On? How Much Misinformation Stems From Simple Ignorance And Laziness?
