Truth or Tabloid?

In the tradition of books like The Darwin Awards and Jay Leno's Headlines, and the game show You Don't Know Jack, Peter Fenton's Truth or Tabloid? takes the public's fascination with news and turns it into an entertaining test of media-savvy.Here's how it works: The reader is faced with six unlikely headlines. For instance: -- Too Many Vegetables Can Make You Blind -- Chinese Create Army of Deadly, Disciplined Ducks -- Girl Dies in Fall from Platform ShoesThe true ones have been documented in legit media sources and the "tabloid" ones come from the unscrupulous fictional reporter Nigel Puddingporne. Nigel takes us through each headline, both true and false, revealing the story behind the story and weaving his own hilarious commentary along the way. It all goes to prove that truth may or may not be stranger than fiction, but it's getting increasingly harder to tell the difference.
