Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In this chilling account of an America in political and cultural decline, media critics Cohen and Fraser show how mainstream media corporations have become administration pawns in a well-organized effort to hijack America. Book News Annotation:Illegal domestic spying, lying the country into a disastrous war,
punishing dissenters such as Ambassador Joseph Wilson, and election
fraud are only a few of the Bush administration actions that are
leading the people of the United States down the primrose path to
dictatorship, believe Cohen (editor in chief, International Journal
of Applied Physiology) and Fraser (founder and president, Americans
for Moral Government, "a political action committee devoted to the
preservation and promotion of democratic values"). While decrying
these and other administration actions, they also argue that the
administration would not be able to carry out their nefarious
activities were it not for the active complicity of the corporate
media, which is hardly "liberal" and works to both obscure
administration wrongdoing, consolidate its own control over all
information (including the relatively free Internet), and dumb down
the American populace.
