News for All the People: The Epic Story of Race and the American Media
By Juan Gonzalez and Joseph Torres
It's a new book, picked it up from the library. It's about "how the media exercise such enormous sway over public life." It mentions everything from government interference, corporate interference (what's the difference now days?) and it shows how the (horrible) media has poorly portrayed non-whites over the years
The book explains more than just that though, that's why I'm excited over it. I'm on page 2. Thought I'd mention it.
