Hollywood executive hammers the elite political class in best selling book
Is fixing Washington D.C. really that difficult? Media heavyweight Kent Emmons says, “No!” In his latest bestseller, “Common Sense 80%”, he dresses down the political and media establishment and offers up actual common-sense solutions while identifying the new, undisputed political majority. “Common Sense 80%” has reached #1 on Amazon.com, propelling Emmons into the ranks of Best Selling Author.
The political landscape in America has never been more divisive. For years, the extremes on both the “right” and “left” have hijacked the headlines, and both sides have used it to control the narrative and raise a TON of money for their political agendas. But now, the American public has caught on to the manipulative partisan games being played behind the scenes by the political elite pulling the strings, and they are feeling “confidently independent” without the need to identify as “Republican” or “Democrat”. Common sense Americans on both sides have started to reject the siren call of the establishment self-serving political blowhards and have begun to think for themselves. All of this is not surprising given that over 80% of Americans actually agree on 90% of the same stuff! This book clearly points out that this new mass exodus from party loyalty and toward common sense thinking has created a new absolute political majority - The Common Sense 80%.
But, “The Common Sense 80%” is not the typical one-sided bitching and moaning by partisan pundits that you’re used to reading. The book's foreword is by Sirius/XM host Andrew Wilkow who Emmons describes as "What Rush Limbaugh is to the old folks, Andrew is to the younger crowd." Inside these pages, you will learn how the constitution has been twisted and turned over the years; how that sent America hurtling down the path of divisive destruction; and, thankfully, what common-sense steps can actually be taken to fix it.
About the Author
Often referred to as “the nicest guy in Hollywood”, Emmons was born and raised in rural southern Illinois. Emmons says he is now “a proud Tennessee resident by choice and a Hollywood executive because, well, life can’t be perfect!”
Like many Midwestern kids, Emmons’s career began with a lemonade stand, working at the golf course and mowing yards. By 14, he was promoting dances and getting on local radio to promote his events. Since early on, he has been active in local, state and national politics, but the foundation of his career has always been media. Over the years he built a media group that has included radio stations, networks, and television production, specializing in niche formats. He created and launched the “Vacation Station” format in top tourist markets around America and created and launched the first-ever 24/7 comedy radio format.
Quoted as saying, “Real news should not be defined as ‘right’ or ‘left’ but should be distinguished by truth,” Emmons identified a massive gap in the “real news” market. He and a group of fellow business heavyweights have recently created the soon to be launched Crave News, a new 24/7 live digital television news network that will serve up a “new generation of news” to the younger crowd. With the tagline “real news. no bullshit”, Crave News will be the digital home of un-apologetic truth wrapped in a fun, VERY edgy, raw, live interactive format.
