reporting, oversimplification, and dramatization in place of issue analysis have proved costly. The ideas laziness of reporters along with the desire to spin a drama rather than provide the tools for reader and viewer education has resulted in a general dumbing down of the entire political process. Germond is informing us that we had better not hold our breath and expect any positive changes anytime soon.Hopefully Germond will be proven unduly pessimistic. He hopes so as much as ideas we do. He tells us not to count on it, though, and sees himself and the rest of us walking through the ideas Forest Gump thickets in a haze rather than focusing intelligently on our problems. The best lesson to take from this book is to consider it a constructive slap on the face. Once slapped take an active interest in what is going on from the local level all the way to the presidency. If enough informed people demanded enough answers Jack Germond would be the first one to beam a happy smile. Was this review helpful to you?
