"Jeff Riggenbach's reading is ideal: very clear, comfortably paced and objective in tone.
This reviewer urges this book on every adult in America."AudioFile

In How to Watch TV News, author and academic Neil Postman and television journalist Steve
Powers show how you can become a discerning viewer. They show the difference between entertainment
fodder and genuine news, pointing to the symbiotic relationship between TV news and advertising. They

his or her knowledge of the world is making a serious mistake.

What better way to spend a Saturday evening than to sit back, relax and enjoy a good audiobook, instead of renting a dvd or stagnating in front of the television. Unlike rentals, they can be kept for life and enjoyed again and again. |
