Sad, funny, undeniably authentic, Tabloid Baby tells  the tale of what befell too much of mainstream television news over the past couple of decades as the bad drove out the good.  -Mike Wallace, 60 Minutes Burt was there for the birthing of tabloid, he became the heart of the genre, and now he's written the bible. -Maury Povich An irreverent, rollicking, robust account of a phenomenon in television history. Burt takes a surgical scalpel to what many believe was the ultimate hypocrisy of the so-called "legitimate TV industry" and puts a pinprick in the balloon of why "legitimate TV" sneers no more at the infantry of A Current Affair, which started the whole genre. A Current Affair? What an affair. And Burt writes about the romance with delicious passion. -Steve Dunleavy, New York Post columnist, author, Elvis: What Happened? An insightful, incisive, and revealing history of the last television revolution of the twentieth century. With his combination of detailed reporting, novelistic approach and raw honesty, Kearns spins a compelling, rousing adventure story that takes the reader behind the scenes of the decade's most important as well as most sensational news events. This is the first and best account of a movement that changed the face of television news. -Steve Powers, Ph.D., co-author, How to Watch TV News
