Sound and Fury: The Making of the PunditocracyCornell University Press, 1999 - 322 من الصفحات " ... Our economy, our security, and, most particularly, our democracy, are imperiled by the decrepit state of our national political discourse. We lack the ability, as a nation, to conduct a simple, sensible, and civil conversation about the choices we face ... The pundictocracy is a tiny group of highly visible political pontificators who make their living offering "inside political opinions and forecasts" in the elite national media. And it is their debate, rather than any semblance of a democratic one, that determines the parameters of political discourse in the nation today. [Introduction]. |
