White House to your house

the long version

White House to Your House is a fast-paced account of contemporary media coverage of national politics during a time when the top two books on the best-seller list were by Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern. The story begins with the 1992 election and concludes with the stunning Republican victory of November 1994. As candidates communicate more and more on new-media outlets campaigns have less and less to do with substantive policy matters. Through interviews, on-scene reporting, and content analyses of media coverage, the authors expose a democratic system in the middle of a massive short-circuiting.
