Hot Air by Howard Kurtz
Kurtz takes readers into the studio for an in-depth and disturbing look at the performers and pundits behind todays television and radio talk shows and at their corrosive influence on Americas social, political, and moral fabric. From Rush Limbaugh and Don Imus to Michael Kinsley and the McLaughlin Group, he guides us through our brave new electronic democracy, pointing out how the culture of celebrity has pervaded and even perverted journalism.
