In brief, only three because at the end there is a statement about broadcast television news, which is flatly untrue, although fairly often thought of to be so. The author doesn't seem to realize that an News editor in television is a craft job, not an executive. And takes the statement of an editor about a breach in the wall between news and sales to be true. Not in 99 it wasn't. Don't think it is now, but I've been away for over 4 years.

Will add more in the future as some of his information seems to have tie ins with my college, Seitz and the Heartland Institute are familiar names.
No I did not finish this - it was bad for my blood pressure! If we are not we should all be terrified of the ignorance running rampant in our country.
