Review title: Shallow
Product review: I found _How to Watch TV News_ to be very disappointing and shallow. After reading this book, I was left with the impression that "if that's all that's wrong with television news, then there's nothing to worry about." On the contrary -- television news programs combine the mass, mainstream media with the technology of television -- a very dangerous combination!The book doesn't discuss the inherent problems of the medium of television that make television news programs ineffectual. And the list of suggestions on "how to watch TV news" is obvious and uninspiring, and doesn't offer any profound methods for "defending yourself".Instead of this book, read _Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television_ by Jerry Mander, and _Manufacturing Consent_ by Herman and Chomsky. _Consent_ will open your eyes to the essential reality of how the mainstream media works, and _Four Arguments_ will give you many more than four reasons why you should turn off your television!
