The Argument Culture: Third Post (Press Attack!)
This was a very good chapter. It did a good job of showing the toll that press attacks, or fear of them, take on people. It also discussed the consequences of a press that attacks more than it gives real information - uninformed voters, among other things. Her point that the press needs to be watchdogs rather than attack dogs is well made, but I’m not sure how to switch them at this point. It’s going to take a lot of work and a lot of convincing!
