When critics decry the current state of our public discourse, one reliably easy target is television news. It's too dumbed-down, they say; it's no longer news but entertainment, celebrity-obsessed and vapid.

The critics may be right. But, as Charles L. Ponce de Leon explains in That's the Way It Is, TV news has always walked a fine line between hard news and fluff. The familiar story of decline fails to acknowledge real changes in the media and Americans' news-consuming habits, while also harking back to a golden age that, on closer examination, is revealed to be not so golden after all. Ponce de Leon traces the entire history of televised news, from the household names of the late 1940s and early '50s, like Eric Sevareid, Edward R. Murrow, and Walter Cronkite, through the rise of cable, the political power of Fox News, and the satirical punch of Colbert and Stewart. He shows us an industry forever in transition, where newsmagazines and celebrity profiles vie with political news and serious investigations. The need for ratings success-and the lighter, human interest stories that can help bring it-Ponce de Leon makes clear, has always sat uneasily alongside a real desire to report hard news.

Highlighting the contradictions and paradoxes at the heart of TV news, and telling a story rich in familiar figures and fascinating anecdotes, That's the Way It Is will be the definitive account of how television has showed us our history as it happens.

Bought it for the Egg Yolk Ball
Be real, the egg yolk ball caught your eye. If not, well, it did for me. I read the list of ingredients and they seemed pretty good so I figured I would give it a try. The directions were pretty simple: Shake the bottle like crazy and then apply. I only just started using it so I can't attest to how it works on fine lines, which is why I gave it four stars. I will say that it hasn't made me break out and I LOVE that it seems to melt right into the skin. It doesn't stay like some sticky mask, which is a feeling I really loathe. I also really like that there's absolutely no scent to it. After using it about two times I do feel like my skin is a little softer and more hydrated. My skin also has this really nice "glassy" look to it, which I love. Normally, the only way I get that is if I have some really heavy hydrating cream that makes me feel super gross. I'd say the glassy look lasts a few hours. Will come back and give this five stars after a month IF it that little ball thing really does work magic.

FAVORITE NEW SERUM - works great at any age!!
This serum is wonderful. I love how you shake it up to dispense the salmon PDRN "egg" throughout everyday before you use it. At over 80 years old, I mainly want to focus on keeping my skin healthy and well hydrated and as youthful looking as possible. I know that you can't turn back time, but you can certainly maximize your skin health and make it look more radiant. Did I ever think I would be applying salmon egg stuff to my face at this point in life? No, but I certainly am glad that I did so. My daughter told me about this, and said she thought it might be a good way for me to try out serums. She was right!! I generally consider the whole world of multi-step skincare a little bit too much for me, but I must admit, this was a really good way to start. It has not caused irritation to my skin, and it has not caused any oiliness or breakouts. My skin texture actually looks improved even after I have only used this for around 2 weeks now. My skin looks so much more dewy and refreshed, which of course I absolutely love. Two friends at church complimented me on my skin today!! I will keep using this serum and I plan to stock up on it because I sure don't want to run out.

Absolutely Love!!
Love it .. it's as delicious on the skin as salmon is to eat .. feels like a healthy fat for your skin ! Pleasantly surprised Blind buy , incredible product for the price , very quality .. goes on greasy initially like an oil ( In a good way ! ) .. but absorbs fast feels light , like a light watery grease , so much fun to apply , feels so good youll want to bathe in it .. I find myself applying to elbows and hands .. my skin Does have a hydrated glow throughout the day but stays light ,, doesn't get heavy, doesn't feel like I'm wearing anything .. works better as a primer too light to really be a moisturizer

not medical‑grade PDRN
it is not medical‑grade PDRN, the brand is small and new, and the product is more hydrating/firming than the dramatic “skin repair” claims suggest. It is not dangerous, but it is also not the miracle it markets itself to be. bHydrates deeply, , Makes skin look plumper and bouncier, • Helps dryness and dullness, Gives a temporary “glass skin” glow

Glow & texture focus
Really good serum! Helps calm redness and dryness, especially after microneedling. Lightweight, non-sticky, and absorbs fast. My skin feels softer and more balanced since I started using it. Worth trying if you want soothing and healing-focused skincare.
