Summary
"The Sound Bite Society asks if relevision has served democracy. Scheuer's answer? A definite no. Scheuer believes our political culture has been demeaned - leaders replaced with clowns, ideology with eye candy, and debate with pairs of pontificating parrots. The Sound Bite Society is crucial to anyone interested - on either side of the spectrum - in understanding and changing the circus that our political landscape has become."--Jacket.
