"I watched a wild hog eat my baby!"

The supermarket tabloids have been the strongest influence of the past hundred years on the overall direction and philosophy of America's mass media. Tabloid veteran Bill Sloan tells why it happened, how it happened, and who made it happen. He explains how the supermarket tabloids have affected all of us--even if we've never so much as picked one up on our way through the checkout line.--From publisher description.
