TRUE ENOUGH
This is my favorite book compared to Against the Machine and Everything Bad Is Good For You. True Enough is very interesting and I like what the overall book is about. It is very true that people no longer look or listen to facts, they just go by this feeling of "it feels true." I am also now fully informed on the Swift Boat issue, and I was interested to learn that there is almost no truth to their argument. When we had a class discussion in class I mentioned that it sounded like the commercials were just babble. Manjoo sounds like a very intelligent person and I agree with a lot of his views. Also the discussion on Republicans and Democrats views totally shocked me. I did not realize they were both so ignorant and would only view news from certain stations depending on the station's political views. I completely agree with the point that people base their decisions on what other people think. I am eager to see what other points Manjoo brings up in his book.
