Ann Coulter's second book, Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right, was published by Crown Forum in 2002. In the text, she argues that the media's coverage of President Bush is unfair and biased.

She blames liberals for the fact that American political debate has become increasingly hostile, overly personal, and insufferably trivial.
