Breaking The News: How the Media Undermine American Democracy
A lot of big-shot journalists didn't like this book, a systematic jeremiad about the current sad state of American political journalism.  For instance, both theNew York Timesop-ed page and theNew Yorkertook pains to excoriate the book and its author--pretty good hints that Fallows is onto something. His point is that greed and intellectual sloth have fostered a political media elite that increasingly focuses on spin and ignores substance at the very time when solving the country's real problems requires all possible nuance.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
