Maddow, the highest rated prime time host on cable television in the valuable 24 – 54 year demographic, goes up against Sean Hannity of Fox News every week night at 9:00 EST in a battle of facts vs alternative facts. It’s tough to write a review of Rachel Maddow’s new book Blowout without borrowing her process of explaining the foundational elements of the story before actually getting to the meat of it of burying your lede so deep that the news becomes a suspenseful set piece-and you’re left wondering what the story will ultimately be-instead of having it summarized in the opening paragraph. Blowout: Corrupted Democracy, Rogue State Russia, and the Richest, Most Destructive Industry on Earth by Rachel Maddow, Crown, October 1, 2019, 432 pp., $29.70
