Postman along with his elder Prog mentor George Seldes are superb and focused mass media critics from earlier eras of the Global Village. Postman became my pride and joy cribbed from my hometown, the outer boroughs of Manhattan island on Long Island in the borough of Queens. One generation back in German blue-collar contracting Fred Trump's choice of home to build a BIG government. Thanks Cold War for making that possible compared to decades since of ScareCity Principle driving up value of quickly and cheaply built (if over-billed) subsidized Low Income Housing.

For more quips and a distinctly U.S. sit-com sense of humor with sharper & more insightful quips check out the late great and hysterically funny Molly Ivins, who taught and did some serious news-papering of the commercial variety and academic book publishing and campus lecture variety.
Dip and dive into the "seep and creep" unified theory of corporate capture and her Texas back-slap way of defending her Free Thought and Defended Critique space wherever she met to discuss or to lecture. Needless to say student and faculty Q&A always best part of her speaking tours. Prof and Journalist Ivins was rarely as welcome on U.S. broadcast system as in nations that had set-aside broadcast spectrum for PUBLIC INTEREST broadcasting.
