Customer Reviews

An eye-opener.

Once you read Puette's take on media distortion you read with new-found insight. The points he made in 1992 are equally relevant today. To my knowledge, this is one of very few titles from the viewpoint of the worker and the worker's union. In a recent talk to librarians in Honolulu Dr. Puette explained that newpapers depend on advertising. Naturally, their bias tends to be with business. How could it be otherwise? If you are a thoughtful student of American life, you owe it to yourself to read the book and then start observing.
