The only interesting thing about the book is that the author appears to be both a christian and a communist which I didn't expect to be a compatible combination. Otherwise it's not about mass communication, it's about historical figures that the author admires. Starting with St. Paul. Yes, the apostle. Spending a chapter outlining the book and justifying the choice does not make it any better. There is nothing here.
The book ends with the author whining about the evil Republicans and Bush Jr and how he dodged the draft (seriously? this book was published in 2010! thanks for landing that blow, Bush is never getting a 3rd term after that) and then proceeds to sing the virtues of country fairs.
