McCarthy eventually lost much of his power, but due to financial troubles with NBC, See It Now was discontinued. This situation greatly frustrated Murrow, and in 1958, he made a speech at the Radio-Television New Directors Association, where he ordered news and all other broadcasting networks to live up to their potential. He urged network executives to not sacrifice honesty and journalistic integrity for the sake of commercial success. The film also holds significant relevance today for many reasons. For example, the current political era is highly divisive in nature, as both Democrats and Republicans have grown increasingly hostile with one another, in a similar manner as
The Greeks are fighting for the return of their history. The Parthenon is the oldest standing structure in Greece. It represents all the great philosophers and inventors of Athens. The Greeks cannot take pride in their culture when it is miles away. Also, the Greek campaign is a step toward returning art to other countries and families that the British Museum has illegally obtained.
This affects how each party chooses to inform the public, wanting people to agree with their point of view instead of the opposing party. This causes many political ads to be greatly biased, resulting in hesitation from the public to immediately take action. Political parties are careful not to offend any of the general public, in order to bring in as many voters as possible. Speeches, Rallies, and conventions (developed by parties and led by the candidate of the election) are carefully conducted to leave a certain impression (influence) on the audience. This also happens through the media ( news, internet, magazines).
These television broadcasts have not only influenced presidential debates, but have set new standards for them. Initially, Presidents have been seen as an icon of respect and pride, however over the years these features given to a future leader have diminished by the way they are being seen on television. When presidents happen to be on television the people are expecting a poised man to show up and speak eloquently and coherent. So then when we have a person whom we look up to make a fool out of themselves, it is quite a shock and brings the presidency down with them. For instance, on April 20, 1992, President Bill Clinton was asked by the MTV generation to discuss his underwear, which turned out to be briefs, on a nationwide broadcast (Hart and Triece).
This shows obvious links between newspapers and the electorate. Many people may not fully understand the voting system and what, exactly, different Political Parties represent which may force their vote to follow what the media influences. There is also a realisation that Prime Ministers may fear the media due to these statistics. TV and radio is seen as impartial which means a large area of media is limited. All party leaders have complained to the BBC at some point which suggests it is impartial.
Assess the importance of TV debates in US presidential elections [15] Many critics of TV debates would argue that they are not greatly important. Contemporary commentators now argue that presidential debates, since their conception have had any serious impact on the outcome of any election. For many of the general population, the debates will have very little effect because they think that hours of dialogue does not make for good TV, a key example of this is John Kerry who was widely regarded as having won all three of his debates in 2004 against George W Bush but did not receive a bump in opinion polls. Another remarkable factor of the presidential TV debates is how news outlets and the media have a tendency to highlight a specific moment, often a gaffe, and make this the top story, such as George HW Bush repeatedly looking at his watch making him appear bored or as if his time was more important elsewhere. All the debates offer is an opportunity to see a President laid bare without the constant media spin and give the American public an opportunity to decide what to focus on.
They often neglect key local and state developments to focus on national news that will attract more people (Murray). Some critics argue that they harm the youth because the youth naively relies on them as a substitute for the news (Murray). Yet this argument lacks merit because a recent CNN study has revealed that The Daily Show viewers “were better versed in 2008 election issues than citizens who frequently turned to traditional mediums, such as newspapers and TV news stations, for the latest in current events
While this collapse took very little time to happen, the Roman Empire’s decline took about a century to occur. After the Pax Romana, the Roman Empire started to decline. The reasons were political and economic, and they had problems with foreigners. After the guard killed Commodus, they sold power to the highest bidder. This led to chaos every time a leader died.

The failed Putsch gave the Nazis the appearance of being violent revolutionaries and law-breakers. They appeared to promote street violence - not popular with most people, who supported law and order. Another affect of the Putsch was that Hitler was no longer able to give public speeches - this was part of his sentence. Hitler's speeches had been one of the main attractions of the Nazi party - he was seen by many to be a very powerful orator - so without his speeches the party lost a lot of power. Another problem was that Hitler's image and ideas were unpopular in this period, decreasing the appeal of the Nazi party.
