Glued to The Tube

With great anticipation of the debate tomorrow evening i'm sitting in front of the television straing at CNN. I am quite anxious to see how things turn out. In class today we discussed the media. There are several different forms of media. The debate is an example of free media, and the debates, interviews, and mere comments have shown how great of an impact the media has on this election. Dr. Fairbanks mentioned early in the course that due to mass media, which was not existent in early democracy, how severe campaigning and appealing to your audience is today. David Mark, the author of The Art of Negative Campaiging discusses within his text that attacks become personal, and campaigns go sour because IT WORKS. It has been proven. Piggybacking on what some of you blogged about earlier in the week, I will not be tuning into Fox News post debate. It is no secret that I am an Obama supporter. Although, I don't believe any startegy in this debate will make any differences at this point, I realize that this battle is not over. The news mentioned Obama is tryig to "buy" this race. NEGATIVITY!
