Title: If Hilaire Belloc had seen the Evening News on TV
Product review: Hilaire Belloc tears into the "capitalist" press of his time, and predicts that the free press will provide an alternative to the power exerted by it.Even though the current "press" has expanded to radio, TV and internet (and has socialist leanings) some of his points are still valid.For example -- he cites the holding back of certain bits of news. We saw this in the latest "fiscal cliff" reporting. I heard on conservative radio, that the President had ordered a pay raise for Congress -- ostensibly to sweeten the pot (The House voted it down). Nothing was said of this in the paper I read, or on TV, or in the main places on the internet.It is a book well-worth reading.
