The book delves into the transformative impact of media on democracy post-9/11, highlighting how corporate ownership and a shift in media bias have favored Republicans while sidelining Democrats. It critiques the prevalence of "media spectacles," which overshadow substantive public issues, particularly in the context of the 9/11 attacks and the ensuing wars. By analyzing the 2004 election and various political forces, the author advocates for a multilateral approach to globalization and emphasizes the necessity of democratic media to address the ongoing democratic crisis.
