We've been led to believe that it shows us the world's events through news programs and, through entertainment programs, reflects the preferences, values, beliefs, and understandings shared by most Americans. We're told that if you don't like what you see on TV, don't blame the industry, blame yourself.\n\nThis 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, Eileen Meehan explains, viewers exert no demand in the market for ratings, advertising slots, program production, or telecasting. 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, the misnomer of \"competition\" among networks, and organizations that seek more industry accountability. She tells us why TV isn't our faultand who's really to blame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-3\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"images\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/71OFUcNEqPL.jpg\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-5 section {{itemfeatures_css_class}}\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"panel panel-default\"\u003e\n              \u003cdiv class=\"panel-heading\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/div\u003e\n              \u003cdiv class=\"panel-body\"\u003e\n                \u003cul\u003e\n              \u003cli\u003eUsed Book in Good Condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n          \u003c\/ul\u003e\n              \u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003c\/div\u003e\n          \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"row panel-container\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"col col-sm-4\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"panel panel-success\"\u003e\n              \u003cdiv class=\"panel-heading\"\u003eFast and Free Shipping\u003c\/div\u003e\n              \u003cdiv class=\"panel-body\"\u003e\n                You're already purchasing the item.
