I'm only 1/2 way through this but it seems to be a practical assessment of the impact of television on North American (and perhaps general) politics over the past 40 years.  In other words, from the 3-network era of politics that began its dominance with the Kennedy Nixon debate, and started to move into Cable news... to the 'single channel single viewer' landscape of today.
