I still think that Norman Spinrad's best work is "Bug Jack Barron". 
Although it is dated in many ways, its still an excellent novel on the
applications and limits of power in the media.  I also liked "The Iron
Dream", a weird novel within a novel, written by Aldoph Hitler (in an
alternate timeline where Hitler emigrates to America, becomes a pulp SF
author and wins the Hugo).  Like all good satires, the satire is close
enough to pulp SF that it could be mistaken the original. Disturbing,
but recommended.
