* columnist and author Norman Solomon. Norman's most recent book was last Summer's "War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death" (Wiley). Norman also writes the Media Beat column which appears at AlterNet. Utne Reader called Norman one of "the fiercest and most articulate media critics around." A Los Angeles Times reviewer wrote, "the bold, muckraking tone of these columns offers a welcome respite from the decerebrated discourse that too often passes for contemporary journalism."
