We must be aware and push for actual information about what"s going on, why people think this: polls are used as marketing tools (push polls, seeding the electorate - planting little seeds so you"ll change your opinion). Put questions in polls that are supposed to affect you idealogically. Media - we pride ourselves in having a free media - freedom of the press: we allow media to publish anything, adams - federalist. Broadcast media - tv/radio: heavy regulations by fcc (federal communications commission, fcc ensured not only 1 person had control of all airways, give people access to air, 3 ways to regulate use of media in campaigns.
