It is essential reading for media critics, psychologists, political analysts, and all the citizens who want to be sure that their political opinions are their own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Not only does it provide convincing evidence for particular effects of media fragmentation, but it also explores some of the specific mechanisms by which television works its damage. . . . Here is powerful additional evidence for those of us who like to flay television for its contributions to the trivialization of public discourse and the erosion of democratic accountability.\"-William A.
