Media Madness: The Corruption of Our Political Culture

Description

James Bowman provides a scintillating and fast-paced anatomy of the mainstream media self-generated demise. The Mind of the Media looks behind the headlines to examine mainstream media's governing myths. Writing with acerbic wit, Bowman shows how the mainstream media's embrace of a spurious notion of objectivity, combined with its addiction to scandal, and an unshakable conviction of its own moral superiority have done irreparable damage to the media's public authority.

James Bowman has written for the Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The New Criterion and other publications. He was the American editor of the Times Literary Supplement and is currently a resident scholar at the Ethics and Public Policy Institute.
