Tragedy & Farce: How The American Media Sell Wars, Spin Elections, And Destroy Democracy

Tom Tomorrow (Illustrator), Robert McChesney, and John Nichols
Edition: hb
ISBN: 9781595580160
Publisher: New Press

ITEM OVERVIEW
Using the current Iraq war/debacle, and the 2004 Presidential elections, the dynamic duo analyze both the miserable systemic failures of the U.S. media, and the growing media reform movement, challenging the private domain of billionaire investors and massive corporations. In our highly concentrated media system it has become commercially and politically irrational to do the kind of journalism a self-governing society requires. Grounded in fresh research, here's why, and a good place to start doing something about it.
