For this reason the author blames the news media  not the people  for the mistaken priorities and policies that have made America unneccessarily pay so high a price in lives  resources  environmental quality and world-wide respect. He argues that the most effective way of preventing the manipulation of public attitudes and the disastrous policies that result is to all viewpoints on the political spectrum - including the far left and the far right - to have an equal opportunity to present the news through societys major communication channels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45277091987509,"sku":"ByrdShop_0394717880","price":63.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780394717883.jpg?v=1780572120","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/dont-blame-the-people-9780394717883","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
