4.0 out of 5 stars
Overall a great book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Networks of Power: Corporate TV's Threat to Democracy (Paperback)
In this book, Mazzocco focusses on the history of ABC (given the nickname by Mazzocco "Always Be Conservative") from it's inception in the early 50's to what was present day (1994). While wholly informative, this book is somewhat out of date, as it doesn't show how the media today could be considered worse. Also consider "Rich Media Poor Democracy."
