Controversial book questions the role of the news media in the outcome of the 2008 elections.

Online, November 29, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Political junkies, pundits, and scholars alike will enjoy the compelling arguments and points of discussion raised as Mark shares his personal blog posts, citing brazen bias and extreme irregularities in the manner of media coverage provided to candidates during the height of the 2008 primaries and leading up to the general election.

Anderson declares, "By actively engaging in a clandestine campaign to put a drag on and derail the campaigns of several of the '08 election season's top candidates.....the news media freely exercised a power and authority over the election process never before witnessed by the nation's citizens." Anderson provides numerous indisputable cases of blatant bias against some presidential candidates, and unabashed favor for others to the point that a significant effect on outcome of several primary elections and perhaps even the general election itself cannot be denied.

In the Tank-A Bound Blog, confronts the reality of a rogue media that has traveled far from its original and charted course and threatens the very foundation of a government of and for the people. "The uninhibited audacity that the most prominent agents and organizations within the news media community displayed while openly campaigning for and against candidates and their campaigns....reflected the determination of a once trustworthy pillar of this society to wrestle the reins from the hands of the people and exercise supreme authority over our country's national election process," Anderson contends. The book is written like a running blog with thoughtful essays throughout that expound upon the most critical points of this contribution to the analysis of the democratic election process. The purpose of the book is to promote the sustainment of independent thought and freedom as well as to expose the dishonorable actions of the nation's news media during the most recent presidential election.
