I suppose part of it is that I spent so many years in broadcasting, but I really enjoyed the DAN RATHER book, "Rather Outspoken".

I have never been a big fan of Rather but there's never been any doubt in my mind that he was totally screwed by CBS.  The book makes it clear that Dan felt the same way.  That comes as no surprise.

Beyond that, the book exposes television news for what it has become.  A pretty shoddy exercise in ratings and revenue and a propaganda machine for the government rather than the watchdog it's supposed to be.

For an inside look at the small minded people who run the huge corporations and the pin head underlings who will sell their soul for a salary, I recommend this book.
