Who isnt for that . Theyre pretty dull on average. The negative ads have some pop, crackle, conflict, whichs what journalists like to cover. So these ads have gotten into the consciousness partly because theyre more powerful and they get peoples attention and thats the way the news works. First of all the general purpose of the book is to try to just put up a yellow warning light saying, theres role here for attacks. That we absolutely have to have them because without them the people in power can get away with a lot more stuff. So we need to realize they play a role. What i think is going on now between the rise of super pacs and the news medias coverage of attack ads i think we have an excessive amount of negativity in the system, which is having consequences. I think its making governing harolder. I th
Guest whats funny about this book is that when i was in college and going for my journalism degree at this idea to write them Great American novel and i come from Rural Missouri were my family lives and everyone has all of these stereotypes about flyover country, flyover nation, sad part of it written and then as we barreled toward this political environment the whole thing we heard from president obama, this idea that we have from the west coast to the east coast that people in flyover country are a bunch of backward kill abilities that shoot our guns off when we practice animal sacrifice are ever whatever we do in the backwoods, they have the stereotypes, but none of this is true and there are a lot of issues that flyover nation has with east and west coast, but then there are a lot of issues we look at differently, so part of it is explaining that perspective, that lends to which myself and everyone else who comes from the midwest in flyover nation and also gets into sort of how we
