Bob Edwards Talks With Commentator James Fallows,

who has written a new book called >Breaking the News: How the Media Undermine American Democracy. Fallows is critical of journalists who appear on television talk shows, who he says usually talk about subjects they know little about, and who rake in big bucks on the lecture circuit.
