I heard about Spin Sisters on talk radio recently, and it sounded interesting. The full title is Spin Sisters : How the Women of the Media Sell Unhappiness -- and Liberalism -- to the Women of America, and that ought to give you some idea of what it's about. Here's the description from Amazon.com: "Blowing the whistle on a job she herself did for over ten years at Ladies Home Journal as editor-in-chief, Blyth reveals the almost institutionalized selling of a liberal/do-gooders message to women through chararacterizing women themselves as victims. Playing on women's compassion and ability to be hooked into "uplifting" stories with a moral or happy ending, American media has convinced the most well-educated, rich and healthy audience in history that they are miserable." I'm curious to read this, since I'm already against mainstream TV and mega corp radio stations. |
