Description: "McChesney.... has produced a [book] that, in the tradition of Tom Paine, systematically examines and refutes the myths that provide the 'impenetrable ideological armor' protecting corporate media from criticism.—In These Times "Robert McChesney has sounded a compelling warning that corporate control of the mass media has made ominous inroads into our democracy.—Ben Bagdikian. "McChesney's work has been of extraordinary importance...It should be read with care and concern by people who care about freedom and basic rights." —Noam Chomsky
