Set against these triumphs was another America dominated by all-news TV &amp; the gossip journalism of the Internet, driven by a celebrity culture, lacking civility, racially divided, &amp; presided over by Bill Clinton. Here is the ultimate TV story -- the trial of O. J. Simpson which says much about violence, sex, race, &amp; gossip in the media. Enter Monica Lewinsky, with Linda Tripp &amp; Lucy Goldberg plotting to bring down the Pres., while Vernon Jordan works to save him. Concludes with an account of the election of 2000.
