The Kingmakers

Americans have a healthy distrust of the mainstream media today. But, only the most sophisticated consumers of news know of just how the media has taken on the role of kingmakers for the benefit of corporations and their stockholders. Former Senator Mike Gravel, candidate for president, speaks eloquently about his own experience - how he was mocked for his positions in the 70's opposing the military draft and nuclear testing - and how now he has been transformed into a "maverick." Gravel details how the internet has begun to transform the way our political process works and to loosen the grip on elections long held by the rich and powerful.Gravel, Mike is the author of 'The Kingmakers', published 2008 under ISBN 9781597775861 and ISBN 159777586X.
