Truth or False?


I thought this video was interesting because in the beginning the host is reading from an article talking about presidential debates and highlighting a section that basically says candidates have to play a role while they are at these debates because straying too far from this publicly accepted role would destroy them. On the other hand, if they can be "cool," the media will make them look great. This makes you wonder how much you really know about our potential candidates when they may just be acting in every public portrayal of them. I also thought it was interesting that the caller said Americans can make a difference in the election process, contrary to what the media makes us believe. I would think most people would argue the media tries to make us believe we have power when in reality we don't have very much.
