Looking at all of the newspaper headlines, it seems that every publication has a different take on the world’s events. But has the media been leaning too much to the right? Journalist Joe Conason looks into right wing slander and bias in his book, Big Lies. Then Steven Heller, art director of The New York Times Book Review, looks into the history of magazine graphic design, Merz to Émigré and Beyond.
