James Bowman provides a scintillating and fast-paced anatomy of the mainstream media self-generated demise. Media Madness looks behind the headlines to examine mainstream media’s governing myths. Writing with acerbic wit, Bowman shows how the mainstream media’s embrace of a spurious notion of objectivity, combined with its addiction to scandal, and an unshakable conviction of its own moral superiority have done irreparable damage to the media’s public authority.
