They didn't lie to you. They just decided what you'd never hear.

For forty years, Mike Graham sat inside the rooms where the news was made — Fleet Street, Bosnia, the editor's chair, the national airwaves. In Fake News, he claims what he saw will "confirm your worst suspicions of an establishment stitch-up." Private dinners. Prime ministers and proprietors. An offer to spy for the Foreign Office.

This unofficial summary and analysis unpacks Graham's "short, explosive provocation" — and then does what the original doesn't. It explains the concepts he assumes you know. It weighs his evidence honestly. It shows you exactly where his argument is strongest, and where it asks you to simply trust him.

You'll finish it reading the news differently. Permanently.
