The hit-and-run style of this book makes it read like a blog, but
despite the lack of meta-analysis, at least there are 43 pages of end notes
to document the carnage. The best chapter is about economic bias, which
includes examples of the pro-NAFTA, pro-globalist, pro-corporate bias of
the media. Understandably, this chapter is only 21 pages, and you won't
find the word "Marx" anywhere. The Council on Foreign Relations, which has
249 liberal and conservative big-name journalists among its members, along
with lots of business execs, academicians, politicians, ex-spies, diplomats,
and retired generals, is mentioned only in passing in another chapter. It
really is a class war on a global scale, much more than an American liberal
vs. conservative struggle. We suspect that Alterman knows this, but as a
recognized pundit himself, he cannot afford to say it. In the end, this
point that Alterman cannot make is the most eloquent statement of all.
