Join Us For Brews&Views! A Discussion With Lenny Mendonca and Peter B. Kaufman, Senior Program Officer at MIT Open Learning and Executive Producer of Intelligent Television to discuss his new book, The Moving Image
How did we come to believe so many lies that we voted into the most powerful political and military post in the world a reality TV star from NBC, groomed by a reality TV producer from CBS, who then appointed his Cabinet from Fox?
The moving image had something to do with it! Local independent bookstore Ink Spell Books will have copies of The Moving Image to purchase at the event.
