A warm summer evening in 2015, thousands of people next door shouted a slogan that was once mainly encountered on the walls of Exarcheia: "Bums-ruffians-journalists". It was an unprecedented event, of great mass and the anger was mainly directed towards private television stations. About two and a half years later, a global survey in 38 countries showed that Greeks had the lowest trust in the media that inform them. It concerned the entire media. The big problem is not limited to the functioning of the Media or their economic parameters, but concerns the information of citizens and democracy itself.

Through 20+1 central - and dozens of smaller - stories of yellow journalism, the book attempts to provide answers to the extremely negative performance of Greek media. We encounter them in the miserable denunciations of positive women. In a television show that baselessly characterized a father as a rapist of his underage daughter and he committed suicide. In reports of events that never happened. In channels that announced the arrest of a "terrorist" who was not even a suspect. In the powerful newspaper that characterized a well-known composer as a "rotten brain". The war reports broadcast from a peaceful area. In fourteen unsuspecting citizens who read in a newspaper that they are terrorists. In the corpses of the front pages. In journalists who blackmailed for a few euros. Others who dipped their hands in secret funds. Some third parties who promoted homophobia and racism, and even some who sold false hopes to cancer patients. In the continuous "tele-bias". In the anxiety of channel bosses to support their political choices in any way possible. In the citizen who for 29 whole years has been trying to erase the stigma of being a "terrorist" with which he was characterized by a newspaper.

Ignacio Ramone, the former director of Le Monde diplomatique, has described the products of journalism in our era as "polluted information". Through the "20+1 stories of yellow journalism", Yiannis Pantelakis justifies this term.
