1) it's a classic, 2) it contains a chapter on historical presidential debate, and it's quite interesting as a comparison to the debates nowadays. People often get Postman's argument wrong. He was not terribly concerned about ever dumber TV shows, but more about attempts to fit serious information into television, a medium unfit for this purpose in his opinion.
