4.0�toiles sur 5 Where are you when we need you Jack Barron, Mai 6 2002

Par	dinadan26 "dinadan26" (Burwood, New South Wales Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires

...this work was dated, it is dated in its language, it is dated in the world view that it presented, but it is perhaps most dated in presenting a "media" figure who has retained some morality and who refuses to completely sell out to the powers to be.

In a nut shell, a once powerful leader of a left leaning political group has sold out his ideals, to become the host of the best rating current affairs show in America.

His imagination is so rich that you will spend as much, or more, time thinking about what you are reading as actually reading his work. This book is a tremendous example of his gift. Spinrad understands the direction our purient privacy denying society twenty years before we arrived in our current sorry state.
