MANIFESTO FOR MEDIA FREEDOM by Brian Anderson

From the Publisher

"Brian C. Anderson and Adam D. Thierer examine the crucial place of free political speech in our nation's history, from the feisty polemics of Revolutionary-era pamphlets to the explosion of new media in the twenty-first century. Today, freedom of political speech in America is facing sustained attacks unlike anything since the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798." In clear, jargon-free prose, Anderson and Thierer debunk the principal arguments made in support of this counterrevolutionary effort, exposing the McCain-Feingold Act of 2002 and a growing movement to impose new "fairness" regulations on the Internet and talk radio as damaging to free speech - and democracy. A Manifesto for Media Freedom is both a wake-up call for all Americans who care about their most fundamental rights and a coherent strategy to guarantee an unfettered marketplace of ideas.
