Greetings from This Modern World
by Tom Tomorrow |
All
the cartoons featured in this article came from this book. What's fascinating about this
book besides the obvious sharp commentary is the early shaping of the comic strip to what
we now know it to be.

Tune in Tomorrow
by Tom Tomorrow |
Great
commentary on the media, politics and pop culture. Even though the book was published in
1994 it is still as sharp today as it was years ago.
|
The Wrath of Sparky
by Tom Tomorrow
|
Collection
of past cartoons, sharp and funny as always. |
Penguin Soup for the Soul
by Tom Tomorrow |
The
latest offering by Tom Tomorrow and a great book to start with.

Wizards of Media Oz : Behind the Curtain of
Mainstream News
by Norman Solomon, Jeff Cohen |
A
collections of fascinating pieces on the control big business has on what we see and hear
in the media. Unfortunately the book's nauseating liberal bias diminishes it's credibility
with any reader with an open mind.
(We're still waiting for an informative book about the media written by an author without
an obvious political agenda.)

Manufacturing Consent : The Political Economy of the
Mass Media
by Edward S. Herman, Noam Chomsky
|
One
of the best books written on the subject of who and what determines media's content. |
Manufacturing Consent:Noam Chomsky (the video)
by Noam Chomsky
|
Based
on the ideas of the book with the same title, this 3 hour film gives a great insight into
our mainstream media. |
Taking on
the Kennedys (the video)
by Joshua Seftel
|
Probably the best
documentary ever made on our political system. "Taking on the Kennedys" gives a
fascinating behind the scenes look at one candidates attempt to go up against the
Kennedy Empire. Look for this movie on PBS or better yet order a copy. This film
will make you question mainstream media, and our whole political system. A must! |
