" Ken Auletta
puts the most human of faces on Turner yet. The picture is of a
tycoon who has lost his power -- and maybe even his way -- since
being pushed off his pedestal in 2000." -
Business Week, October 4, 2004
"Media Man glides breezily through Turner's
eventful life, plucking out vivid details and amusing anecdotes to
build a nuanced and engaging portrait of an immensely complicated moncler
man." -The Washington Post, October 10,
2004
"Auletta is deft at capturing the other sides
to Turner--for example, his genuine concern for the planet, and how
a Warner Bros. cartoon movie called The Iron Giant brought him to
tears." -Fortune Magazine, October 18, 2004
Auletta is the James Bond of the

world... The result: stories that give
readers an intimate feel for the drama within the institutions that
set the national news agenda."
