Superb analysis of the domination of capital in the media
|
|
Professors Herman and McChesney sharply analyse the commercialization of the mass media over the last 20 years, and its increasingly global nature. Their debunking of corporate libertarian myths regarding the market providing consumer sovreignty in this arena, and the alert they sound, concerning the consequences of a few firms dominating the media and undermining democracy and the working class, makes this an essential read for all independantly minded citizens. Their treatment of the internet in particular is well worth reading.
