[ 2.0 stars ] "As some other reviewers have stated, this book is mostly about a bit dated trip around a TV newsroom. Only perhaps 20% of the content is Postman, it is quite obvious when it is, and most of that is rehashed or dated material from his other works. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 3.0 stars ] "I read Postman's 'Amusing Ourselves to Death' as an undergrad years ago, and I got a lot out of it. This book seemed promising, but it would benefit from a more coherent structure.

The last three chapters finally get down to critical new ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "How to Watch TV News is an excellent resource for the budding media theorist or the person who wants to know why New Orleans and the Iraq War do not get the same airtime as a news anchor saying "Keep $#&* that chicken!"The argument is simple - we need to learn HOW to watch TV. The understanding and properly contextualizing media (TV or otherwise) is not a given. It is not inherent to our DNA to ..." Courtesy by Amazon
