OKAY---I;ll give it a shot...don't get too angry is I'm way off base.
The media is essential in all parts of our lives. We can't live without
it. The media is especially important to politics (we just discussed
this in politics) Look at a campaign for public office. The media is
the central voice for all campaigners. They use newspapers and
television spots to convince the public to support them- or not support
the other guy. The media, consaquently, forms our opinions. What do you
think?
