You won't believe they've written it!

Ever wanted to counter one of those often-trotted-out and ill-informed objections to the study of the media, but not been able to find anyone who's said it in writing? Then look no more, for Miller and Philo have come to the rescue. Pointing to each error in turn would be to take a sledgehammer to a stale Malteser, for this entire work betrays a startling misunderstanding of the practices and intentions of media and cultural studies. In terms of providing a critique of contemporary theory, this book is barely worth the glossy cardboard that encases it; but if you are lazily seeking that "straw man" for your literature review or undergraduate essay, it presents an ideal opportunity. Indeed, I would recommend its purchase for precisely that purpose. As I say, you won't believe they've written it.
