Static: Government Liars, Media Cheerleaders, and the People Who Fight Back by Amy Goodman

I expected a work of great depth. I expected Amy Goodman's show Democracy Now! in print form. It seems strange to me how this medium, which allows for greater depth and more reasoned analysis than does a daily tv/radio show, was used instead to offer up a strained, condensed version centered around what is probably Goodman's signature topic - the failings of the embedded media both within the USA and outside it.

It may not be fair to judge a book against the output of another format. It may show more be a case of the focus being to reach those who would not typically listen to Democracy Now. Regardless, I find this book to be a disappointment. show less
