Rupert Murdoch's recent multibillion-dollar purchase of the Wall Street
Journal made international news. Yet it is but one more chapter in an
untold story: the rise of an integrated conservative media machine that
all began with Rush Limbaugh in the 1980s. Now Kathleen Hall Jamieson
and Joseph Cappella—two of the nation's foremost experts on politics
and communications—offer a searching analysis of the conservative
media establishment, from talk radio to Fox News to the editorial page of
the Wall Street Journal. Indeed, here is the first serious account of how
the conservative media arose, what it consists of, and how it operates.
This thoughtful study offers the most authoritative and insightful account
of this revolutionary phenomenon available today.
