As currently written this article is just a collection of blurbs taken either straight from the book's back cover or the book's website. No actual encyclopedic description of the book is given. Article needs a rewrite. Dugwiki 16:54, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I am recommending this be attached to WikiProject Comics, after it is no longer a blatant add of course. I've read this comic so when I get some time I will attempt to update the article. Umberranna 10:05, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
In the book it is noted that that Board Members sitting on American media corporations also sit on American military firms with the implication that there is potentially nefarious collusion occuring to manipulate the American masses. Looking at the source for this claim, one immidiatley sees that virtually any connection could be made about sundry other corporations in the USA, including some board members sitting on Mrs. Fields Cookies also sittiing on American media corporate boards.
The author is clearly guilty of commiting several logical fallaicies and omissions using such tenuous claims. The book is nothing but a collection of historical events seen through an extremely distorted ideological lens. I agree with Dugwiki, given the nature of the current Wiki entries coupled with lack of rigor in the book, that this article needs a major rewrite.
Image:Atwfc.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I put a link to the pdf of the book on the site. The authors, on their own website, have declared that they are freely giving away the digital version. If anyone has a problem with this link, please contact me, I will make it right. Brinerustle ( talk) 12:05, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
