Television has conditioned us to tolerate visually entertaining
material measured out in spoonfuls of time, to the detriment of
rational public discourse and reasoned public affairs. In this
eloquent, persuasive book, Neil Postman alerts us to the real and
present dangers of this state of affairs, and offers compelling
suggestions as to how to withstand the media onslaught. Before we
hand over politics, education, religion, and journalism to the show
business demands of the television age, we must recognize the ways
in which the media shape our lives and the ways we can, in turn,
shape them to serve out highest goals.
