The Best Democracy Money Can Buy [antikvár]

Who Gives a Shit? An Introduction to the Expanded Election Edition You read the papers and you watch television, so you know the kind of spider-brained, commercially poisoned piece-of-crap reporting you get in America. You could call this book WhatYou Didn't Read in the New York Times andWhatYou Can't See on CBS. For example: Five months before the November 2000 election, Governor Jeb Bush of Florida moved to purge 57,700 people from the voter rolls, supposedly criminals not allowed to vote. Most were innocent of crimes, but the majority were guilty of being Black. I wrote that exposé for page one of the nation's top newspaper. But it was the wrong nation: Britain. It ran in the Guardian of London and its Sunday sister paper, the Observer. You could see it on television too—in Europe, on BBC TV's Newsnight, which airs my investigative reports. (If you want to know what was in that diseased sausage called a presidential election, read Chapter 1, "Jim Crow in Cyberspace.") A lot has happened since the last edition of this book. George
