Infamous Scribblers by Eric Burns is subtitled The Founding Fathers and The Rowdy Beginnings of American Journalism. The author opens with "It was the best of times, it was the worst of journalism...." and proceeds to tell readers why that was. During one of the most volatile periods in American history, he explores how journalism was essential in creating a lasting nation. Ben Franklin, Sam Adams, Hamilton were all leading journalists. Washington and John Adams disdained journalists. Thomas Jefferson was a manipulator of journalists. James Franklin, Ben's brother, was one of the first muckrakers. The journalism of the era was highly partisan, fabricated, sensational and often brilliant and indispensable.
