Today, political events are nullified unless they're on TV.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Television doesn't like politics very well, if you can infer that from the way they cover it.
For the broadcast business to be successful, viewers need to be not merely interested in our political melodramas, they have to be in an absolute state about them - emotionally invested in the outcome and frightened not to watch what happens next.
That's whatever news topic, whatever political process any country is going through - whenever they are in the news, that's when they exist. If you don't see them they don't exist.
Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.
If it wasn't for what goes on in the world of politics, we wouldn't really have much of a show.
Talk radio doesn't need to be political.
There's a wide range today of documentaries on politics. The central mass of it is made by networks, and nothing's changed.
News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.
Most people get their politics, obviously, from TV shows about senators or movies about them or... all the day-to-day press and the talk shows.
No political event can be judged outside of the era and the circumstances in which it took place.
