Abstract

Extreme media are a normal and predictable outcome of the media marketplace in the United States. Using historical and market-based explanations for the development of extreme television media, Taylor places extreme media in their proper context. Taylor shows how extreme media fill a niche and are valuable to the political system in the United States. Establishing that their rise is not happenstance or accidental, Taylor creates a firm foundation to explore the empirical realities for people who consume these media. Taylor closes this chapter with a roadmap for the book and a summary of his general findings.
