In fact, Meehan explains, viewers exert no demand in the market. She also counters the idea that TV programs reflect our culture directly. Introducing us to the political economy of television, Meehan covers programming, corporate strategies, advertising, network \"competition,\" and organizations that seek more industry accountability. She tells us why TV \u003ci\u003eisn't\u003c\/i\u003e our fault-and who's really to blame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eileen R.
