Description

A fast-paced but never superficial look at the media by three elder statesmen who

have spent most of their adult lives in the media. RMC: "Everybody knows, it's no secret, they [journalists] mostly vote Democratic.... The biographical argument has

nothing to do with what comes out of the media. This week we have Quayle under glass,

but on the other hand we had fried Geraldine Ferraro much worse when she ran for Vice

President." ... WAR: "What I am also concerned about is that the pendulum has swung

too far in the other direction, that we have found ourselves in a situation in which the

media ... far from being Greek-chorus commentators on the situation, are partisan

participants in every situation, with opinions on every major issue, and pushing those

opinions by a selective process in their news reportage."
