Strange Bedfellows: How Late-Night Comedy Turns Democracy into a Joke
I read this for an essay I'm writing for class. It was, admittedly, not quite coherent. There were plenty of good points made, but I could have gone for a better conclusion where Peterson tied all of his different arguments together. It was a little more like all the chapters were separate and tied together by the topic, but not by a coherent train of thought. However, I also found it incredibly fascinating and persuasive. He made a lot of really good points about the functions of late-night comedy within our political system.
