Title: Sometimes holding up a mirror is painful
Review: I have no interest in the vitriol mongers who feed preconceived notions. No interest in the former insiders who might have an axe to grind. No interest in the people who have been put through the mill and turned half-crazy by the process.James Fallows is the insider who still has the outsiders sense to see the whole picture.People with common sense and some cynicism already know half of what is in the book. The author does a very good job of filling in the details.To be fair, the viewing public is part of all this. People pay attention to fluff and sensational nonsense. There are still people with an appetite for substance. But I also don't want to be stuck in front of C-Span taking notes and having my congressional representative on speed-dial.Where do you go? Simple fact. You have to do your homework.Fallows ends on a hopeful note. It's too important not to be hopeful.
