This book analyzes why we believe what we believe about politics,
and how the answer affects the way democracy functions. It does so
by applying social evolution theory to the relationship between the
news media and politics, using the United States as its primary
example. This includes a critical review and integration of the
insights of a broad array of research, from evolutionary theory and
political psychology to the political economy of media. The result
is an empirically driven political theory on the media's role in
democracy: what role it currently plays, what role it should play,
and how it can be reshaped to be more appropriate for its
structural role in democracy.
