How much influence does the media hold over the general population’s opinion? In this case, how televisions appearances affect the public’s view of political candidates?---
This week, the leader of the largest free country in the world will be appearing on the game show Deal or No Deal. Seriously. President George W. Bush will be appearing on Monday’s episode of the show. In a similar fashion, many of the current candidates and their family members will be appearing on popular shows.
All three candidates for the presidential election are currently slated to appear on American Idol – one of the most watched shows in the nation. Equally as embarrassing, the three politicians have been pushed back for what are considered to be larger stars. Both Miley Cyrus and Reese Witherspoon have been a part of the pushing back of the candidates
Barbara Bush is currently booked to be the co-host of the Today show on Monday, while John McCain’s wife will step into The View on Monday. These moves are clearly moves to create buzz around the candidates. Hopefully the issues will be forefront in these headlining examples.
