About the Book

Book Synopsis

Myrna Blyth, former editor-in-chief of Ladies' Home Journal, was part of the Spin Sisters media elite for over twenty years. In Spin Sisters, she tells the truth about the business she knows so well---its power and influence, its manipulations, and frequently misguided politics. Spin Sisters is an eye-opener that will change the way you think about a major influence on your life---and about yourself.

From the Back Cover

The Provocative New York Times Bestseller

"[A]n exposé that will almost certainly wipe those big smiles off the faces of Katie, Diane, Barbara, and a few other important divas in the world of big-time journalism."---Bernard Goldberg, author of Bias

Spin Sisters tell you what to think, and how you feel. They tell today's women that they are frazzled, frumpy, and fearful and that their lives are too tough for them to handle.

Spin Sisters are the women at the top of the media heap, the Girls' Club who lunch, party, and weekend together, support the same left-of-center causes, and think alike.

Spin Sisters present their favorite celebrities' liberal messages with a halo of approval even though you may not share those liberal attitudes or values.

Spin Sisters think all women should agree with them because they are sure they know what's good for you---even better than you may know yourself!
