I am doing a paper on how media influences politics through television and I was wondering what are some ways that audiences are manipulated. If you have any websites or online articles, please list them, I would really appreciate it. Thanks guys.

Oh, oh, do your own homework. That is the only way you’ll learn. Check out PBS for a list of links to credible information and fact-checking on the candidates.
Also, you might do well to research the impact that the FCC chairman (appointed by Bush #43) has had on honest journalism in America … that battle ended last year and he got away with permitting media groups to form conglomerates, many of which have a clue as to journalistic ethics.
The only “problem” with the media, is every Tom, Dick, and Harry can get in front of mic or camera and scream at the public but only the public that watches, or listens. Americans are learning to check the facts, and turn off the radio and TV…
Now, read, research, and think this out on your own. You won’t get help with work assignments when you are working for a living – it is all competition then.
It’s simple. Whether a lie or the truth, if they say it enough, it automatically becomes conventional wisdom. I mean, they have half the nation convinced that Obama would be a good leader. Based on what they have to work with, I’d say their tactics are pretty effective.

Lying for starters.
Look in the real world.
In front of the TV daily.
Watch the TV newsreels with entertainment in between.
In the Land of idol worshipper.

What do you think?
I think the most clever thing the news media does is encouraging people to vote and make a difference in their society.
If the news media would just refrain from trying to get people to participate in their democratic government then the corporations would have a much easier time setting up a modern form of **** government in the U.S.A.
