Synopsis
Spin Sisters: They tell you what to think, they tell you how you feel -- and they tell you constantly, on television and in magazines, that today's women, who have more opportunities than women have ever had before, are frazzled, frumpy, fearful victims of lives too tough for them to handle. Spin Sisters: They are the women at the top of the media heap, the Girls' Club of the female media elite, who lunch, party, and weekend together, support the same left-of-center causes, and think alike -- especially when it comes to social issues and politics. Spin Sisters: They present their favorite celebrities' liberal messages with a halo of approval. And they try to act like they're your closest girlfriends -- despite the fact that you may not share any of their attitudes or values. Spin Sisters: They think all women should agree with them because they are so very sure they know what's good for you -- even better than you may know yourself! It's no surprise that the media aimed at women -- from morning television shows to TV newsmagazines to mass-circulation beauty and fashion books -- influence and shape how women see themselves and their role in the world. Myrna Blyth was part of the upper echelon of this media machine for more than twenty years and in this book tells the truth about the business she knows so well -- its power and influence, its manipulations and its frequently misguided politics. Blyth persuasively argues that today's media bombards American women -- the most prosperous, healthiest, well-educated, and privileged group of women ever -- with constant messages of unhappiness and victimization. And that these effectively crafted messages also push and promote a liberal political agenda that the Spin Sisters themselves share. Insightful, witty, and highly provocative, Spin Sisters is an eye-opener that will change the way American women think about a major influence on their lives -- and about themselves. Book jacket., Blowing the whistle on a job she herself did for over ten years at Ladies Home Journal as editor-in-chief, Blyth reveals the almost institutionalized selling of a liberal/do-gooders message to women through chararacterizing women themselves as victims. Playing on women's compassion and ability to be hooked into "uplifting" stories with a moral or happy ending, American media has convinced the most well-educated, rich and healthy audience in history that they are miserable. She dissects why: - liberal celebrities' messages aren't scrutinized and in fact presented with a halo of approval - middle class American women have been sold stress as the new scourge of modern life - media paints a negative picture of women's lives today, at exactly the moment when women have more money, privlege and choices than ever before - the club of liberal women who run magazines and television shows have an outsize and lock-step affect on what we "know" about the major issues of the day - the incestuous relationship between celebrities and media has corrupted journalism - magazines rarely tell stories about the majority of women whose conservative views don't mesh with their own

- e***n (390)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
