A story about "The Republican Noise Machine : Right-Wing Media and How It Corrupts Democracy" — 5 years ago
Great book.

Read first chapter.

A story about "Hackers and Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age" — 5 years ago

A story about "Moral Politics : How Liberals and Conservatives Think" — 5 years ago
Poor writing, great work
A story about "We the People: A Call to Take Back America" — 5 years ago
a couple pages of new stuff; interesting emphasis on neo-fascism
A story about "BREAKING THE NEWS : How the Media Undermine American Democracy" — 5 years ago
Excellent. Fallows provides insight and detail while convincing you of the media’s failings.
Insightful, if a little overlong. Also suffers from ignoring political bias, which might lead to more on other, perhaps less institutional problems, like following scripts.

Great book, especially the first few chapters. The later ones are an odd form: metacommentary synthesizing previous events, and I’m not sure the thesis is quite right.
