Richard;
Then, we'll have the "how much better analog was" for years.
Analog was better because it was easy to control the message when
there were only 3-4 networks that were beholden to the politicians
for their little oligopoly, and everyone sat down in the evening for
their dose of Soma.
The politicians have matured as well. They only got limited exposure
with the old analog system:
A few sound bytes on the evening news
Meet the Press
60 Minutes
Then Uncle Ted changed everything - The Government News Network (CNN)
became a fixture in DC; then MSNBC and Fox. Now there are vast
opportunities for the politicians to get TV exposure.
From the politician's point of view, the only thing better than Free
TV is keeping control over paid TV - these guys actually have money
to contribute to campaigns. Please note the influence of Hollywood
money and image creation skills on recent campaigns.
The old saw was that all politics are local...
Not anymore. Now politics are going global!
