Contrary to arguments that television is detrimental to democracy, Entertaining Politics explores the role of new political television in shaping a changing civic culture. Jeffrey P.

Why TV Is Not Our Fault: Television Programming, Viewers, and Who's Really in Control
This book dispels the myth that the television industry is just giving viewers the programming they want to see and, thus, we as viewers are responsible for the existence of shows like Fear Factor and yet another Survivor. In fact, Meehan explains, viewers exert no demand in the market. She also counters the idea that TV programs reflect our culture directly. Introducing us to the political economy of television, Meehan covers programming, corporate strategies, advertising, network competition, and organizations that seek more industry accountability. She tells us why TV isn't our faultand who's really to blame.
