Produktbeschreibung
In its global campaign to fight terrorism is the Bush administration trying to muzzle freedom of speech? David Dadge, editor of the "International Press Institute", documents a number of disturbing incidents of attempted press censorship in this interesting perspective on the rising tensions between powerful government interests and independent journalists. Dadge concludes by arguing that rather than suppressing the media, political and military institutions would be better off in the end by actually increasing existing freedoms. This carefully researched and well-argued discussion of free expression under siege should be of great interest and concern to all who care about one of our most important liberties.
Dadge documents a number of disturbing incidents of attempted press censorship by the Bush administration and its public criticism of journalists who appeared to be out of step with the general patriotic fervor.
