Since the 1960s, American political life has undergone some major transformations: conservative politicians and values have proliferated, and television has become the main forum for public discourse. In The Sound Bite Society, Jeffrey Scheuer shows how these changes are directly connected and explains that the key to understanding these forces lies in the nature of television and its relationship to ideology.

Notes
- "The Sound Bite Society asks if relevision has served democracy. Scheuer’s answer? A definite no. Scheuer believes our political culture has been demeaned - leaders replaced with clowns, ideology with eye candy, and debate with pairs of pontificating parrots. The Sound Bite Society is crucial to anyone interested - on either side of the spectrum - in understanding and changing the circus that our political landscape has become."–BOOK JACKET
