The Betrayal of Democracy
Share
Journalist William Greider examines what he calls ‘the deepening divide between the governed and the governing’ in this PBS Election ’92 Report. Drawing upon Greider’s award-winning reporting and observations of Washington’s politics and government for over 20 years, Frontline examines the institutions of democracy – among them the two major political parties and the press – and how they are failing the public.
