One of the main points was about how Bush and many other prominent Republicans have used fear as one of their main techniques for getting what they want. Fareed has lots of great quotes from Giulani on the campaign trail to illustrate this. It made me think about the kind of power Televison gives to those who know how to exploit it. Making democracy, which is a participatory form of government dependent on Television, which is a passive media source seems like such a bad idea.joshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01165462366964097266noreply@blogger.com
