註釋

Journalists have created thousands of hoaxes just for the fun of it. Most of the hoaxes appeared during the 1800s. Fedler brings back some of the hoaxes perpetrated by the media, on the media, and on the public. Some of the hoaxes continued for weeks, exciting or frightening millions of readers or listeners, and fooled everyone, even supposed experts. Journalists were not well educated and were encouraged to undertake hoaxes by a new group of publishers, often called "press barons". Readers were unsophisticated and poorly educated, hence easier to fool. However, Fedler feels the media, their reporters, publishers and the public have become more respectable and responsible during the past 50 years. ISBN 0-8138-1117-1: $27.95.
