This book is a MUST read for anyone who wants to understand the power structure and how it works via the media in America. It's right up there with Manufacturing Consent by Chomsky, but supplies specific anecdotal evidence of real life suppression and how it works. The journalists involved in these experiences are from the mainstream: CBS, CNN, Associated Press, Reuters, etc, and none were particularly radical before personally encountering the censorship mechanisms of the power elite, which is what makes the book so fascinating. Give a shit. Care. Get involved. Read this book. Adam 18 Tales of Media Censorship : Into the Buzzsaw |
