Like him or not, and I was thoroughly digusted with his knowing lies about the Rogers v. Bellei SCOTUS case, the history and point he brings with this particular book is pretty good. I hope the book brings a few people into the light regarding the actual function and role of the press.
The forces that aim to undo the US did powerful work in the early 1900's, and one of the the efforts was to promotoe the myth of an objective press being vital to an informed electorate, therefore the press is objective.
