This book doesn't point out what it proports to point out. 'Proving' that progressives who criticize the actions of corporations and the government does not mean that they advocate abolishing these institutions. Rather, if you read Chomsky or Moore you know they push people to think and then to advocate for better policy. Why can people not be a part of something and also critical of it, to make it better? This is not hypocrisy, this is being a productive citizen. While I applaud the author for raising questions about these figures (never stop being skeptical) I came away from this book thinking he mostly wanted to smear people's names, not pay attention to issues, and in the end to be mindless and uncritical subjects to the throne.
