Does The Media Help Criminals
Get Away With Murder?

We know how often the liberal media distort the news to favor their own leftist agenda. But did you know the media also helps criminals get away with murder?

In the pursuit of ratings and the public's ever-increasing addiction to violence, TV "news" often thwarts law enforcement's attempts to solve crimes and bring suspects to justice.

And news itself has given way to reality TV that makes personal tragedy into 24-hour "entertainment."

In his new book, The Murder Business: How the Media Turns Crime Into Entertainment and Subverts Justice, former homicide detective and current FOX news commentator Mark Fuhrman examines the media's role in covering high-profile crimes. Fuhrman reveals never-before-published details about some of the most notorious cases, exposing the botched investigations, manipulative media practices, and subtle bribery that have allowed killers to go free.

As he delves into these cases, Fuhrman reveals a horrible, but all-to-common thread: the media's involvement often distorts the truth, perversely influencing victims and witnesses while blinding the American public to the facts.

The Murder Business reveals:
  • How media and law enforcement work at cross purposes: law enforcement wants to solve cases quickly while the media wants to drag cases out to keep ratings high
  • Why, despite their best efforts, the media cannot be an arm of law enforcement—but they can help solve crimes
  • How the media picks and chooses their star victims—the prettiest, whitest, or youngest murder victim usually gets the most attention—and how this can obstruct justice
  • Why crime as entertainment has edged out journalism
  • Who killed JonBenét Ramsey
The Murder Business is a sobering look at some of the most famous cases of the past twenty years—and the media's role in solving crimes and achieving justice.
