White Dog Cafe - Table Talks - A Dream That Was America

Eric Alterman, writer of the “Stop the Presses” media column for “The Nation” and the “Altercation” web log (www.altercation.msnbc.com) for MSNBC.com. A scholar in international relations and US history, Alterman has a number of award-winning books, including “Sound & Fury: The Making of the Punditocracy,” winner of the 1992 George Orwell Award, and “It Aint’s No Sin to be Glad You’re Alive: The Promise of Bruce Springsteen,” which won the 1999 Stephen Crane Literary Award. In his latest book, “What Liberal Media,” Alterman refutes the widespread assertion of left-wing bias in the mainstream media & reveals the gradual shift that the media has actually made to the right. His book is viewed as “...a much needed antidote to the hate-filled poison spewing from conservative authors these days.”
