The book examines the transformation of media's role in politics post-9/11, highlighting how corporate ownership and a shift in media bias have favored Republicans while sidelining Democrats. It critiques the prevalence of "media spectacles" that overshadow critical public issues, particularly during the 9/11 attacks and the ensuing wars. Kellner analyzes media's influence in the pivotal 2004 election and advocates for a multilateral approach to globalization and a revitalized democratic media to address the current democratic crisis.
