The New Media Monopoly: A Completely Revised and Updated Edition with Seven New Chapters by Ben H. Bagdikian

5.0

Excellent expose of the manipulation of American society through the all powerful media. Bagdikian demonstrates how a few companies control the vast majority of what Americans watch, see, and listen to, through a historical lens of media from the creation of the republic up until today (well, 2003 anyway.) Things have only gotten worse since this was updated ~20 years ago, but overall the message holds up remarkably well considering the Internet was still in its relative infancy around the millennium.
