Critical response
The Los Angeles Times called the book, "A well-documented, even-tempered and witty answer, I might say antidote, to such toxic recent bestsellers as Bernard Goldberg's 'Bias.'"
Ted Widmer of the New York Times Book Review said "'What Liberal Media' is bold, counterintuitive and cathartic".[1]
The New Yorker said of the book, "A polemic is nothing without passion, and Alterman's argumentative vigor is engaging [and]... the meticulous care with which his arguments are sourced and footnoted is in commendable contrast to the efforts of some of his more fire-breathing opponents."[2]
