Republican nominees James Meredith, a fundamentalist Christian whose ambitions border on white supremacy, is pitted against four reporters who have just discovered damaging information that could ruin his career. What unfolds during The Last Debate will change the course of electoral politics and the news business forever.. As "the ultimate insider-outsider" (Washington Post), and as a moderator of presidential debates past and present, journalist and PBS news anchor Jim Lehrer knows the world he writes about only too well. His novel--a satirical and absorbing story of the behind-the-scenes world of news journalism--also exposes the duplicitous posing and posturing of made-for-TV political events. And with the 2000 elections looming ahead, the targets of his satire--religious fundamentalists, self-important journalists, feral network programming heads--could not be more timely. 40843 2000 The Last Debate total:12|5:0|4:4|3:4|2:4|1:0| 12 36 21 2 2 0 false false Fri Nov 15 00:00:00 -0800 1996 Thu Aug 13 12:00:02 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 15:30:45 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Dec 01 15:41:05 -0800 2007 Sat Dec 01 15:45:49 -0800 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Nov 30 08:18:33 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 12:27:04 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 12:27:08 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1996 Sun Sep 20 16:24:12 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 16:24:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 16 09:04:09 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 09:04:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 13 23:20:29 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 23:20:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Mar 21 23:06:35 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 21 23:06:35 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Nov 10 14:34:39 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 10 14:34:39 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Oct 13 20:36:40 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 13 20:36:40 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Oct 11 19:52:42 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 11 19:52:45 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Aug 26 07:32:35 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 02 07:00:23 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu Jul 10 19:57:16 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 10 19:57:16 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri May 23 12:46:56 -0700 2008 Fri May 23 12:46:56 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed May 14 06:21:42 -0700 2008 Wed May 14 06:22:08 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jan 10 16:33:12 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 10 16:33:12 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Thu Jan 03 23:53:33 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 23:53:33 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 15 19:34:01 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 25 13:41:31 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Fri Aug 03 11:59:13 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 03 11:59:13 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sat Jun 09 10:31:51 -0700 2007 Sat Jun 09 10:31:51 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Sat Apr 28 12:25:24 -0700 2007 Sat Apr 28 12:25:24 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=41269
