具体描述

Joseph Pulitzer once said, "Our republic and its press will rise and fall together." And, as Joseph Farah points out, they have already begun the nosedive: The press has abandoned its noble post of keeping business and government in check, causing injury to the social, moral, spiritual, and intellectual values of our nation. Supported by the unique insight of an experienced newsman, this book reveals how the press has permitted itself to become captive to a political and social agenda and, perhaps worst of all, has become an advocate of bigger and more intrusive government in the lives of all Americans. By exploring the history of the free press and its relationships with free societies (especially in America), Farah identifies the fundamental problems of today's press while pointing the way toward a reinvigorated free press and society.
