Eric Alterman: Program Outlines

Can You Trust The Media?
The "news" is supposed to be something we can trust - a source of unbiased reporting of the events of the day. If it were only that simple. In a provocative, insightful and educational presentation, Eric Alterman argues that the American media has become so partisan and biased as to be almost untrustworthy. The implications of this for American democracy make for a lively and thought-provoking discussion.

The Book on Bush: Why George W. Is Bad for America
As an unabashed "liberal", Eric Alterman makes no effort to hide his feelings that the presidency of George W. Bush has been a disaster for America. In this talk he chronicles what he sees as the president's long list of failures and sins of both ommission and commission. You may not agree with his conclusions, but Alterman's perspective is one that is sure to provoke both debate and discussion.

Truth in Politics - Is There Such A Thing?
It has become almost a truism of the modern age - politicians lie. Full Stop. But is that really the case, or is there still truth in politics? In this talk Eric Alterman explores this crucial question and offers some surprising answers.
