Corporate Media and the Threat to Democracy

Praise

“McChesney … has produced a [book] that, in the tradition of Tom Paine, systematically examines and refutes the myths that provide the ‘impenetrable ideological armor’ protecting corporate media from criticism.” –In These Times

“McChesney’s work has been of extraordinary importance … It should be read with care and concern by people who care about freedom and basic rights.” –Noam Chomsky

“In this passionate and strikingly lucid essay, Robert McChesney makes clear why all of us should be alarmed about the effects of media mergers on the future of American democracy. This is a must reading for anyone who wants to get a quick understanding of this troubling trend.” –Susan J. Douglas, author of Growing Up Female with the Mass Media
