We do have a debased dialogue that seems far more headline driven than motivated by a need (or desire) to be informative. Hopefully this will change but if you believe Germond, and I do, this will only happen if people fundamentally change their attitudes about politics and government and that kind of change comes documentary along once in a very great while. Four stars. documentary This book is filled with informed observations but it could dig a little deeper into some of the most current concerns such as the way documentary our government continues to attack the media to cover its own tracks. Why is there an ongoing war against public disclosure that threatens our freedom of the press? Why do we stand for it? Why are so many journalists timid in the face of power? Why has the media been so loathe to expose the obvious misinformation campaign by the White House over Iraq?
