Publisher's Synopsis
This book focuses on the critical role which television entertainment has played as an arena for political struggle in America. It tells the story of the numerous advocacy groups - from the NAACP to the Gay Activists to the Moral Majority - that have tried to influence the content of prime time programmes. It shows how the political conflicts that began in the 1960s and 1970s have been played out in corporate headquarters and Hollywood studios and ultimately on television screens across the country.
