Answer 1

I have read that the Internet will. But I think it will be TV and mostly the "sound bites". So many of the population doesn't bother to read or listen to the full story. The Repubs have adopted Newt's theory of saying the same thing until people believe it. Truth be damned. Sadly, it seems to work. Last election proved that at least some more are learning and listening. Anybody will be an improvement over Bush.

Answer 2

Public opinion is formed by 6 Media companies (i.e. Disney, General Electric, Viacom, AOL/Timewarner, NewsCorp, and Bertelsmann). The first 5 broadcast in the US under the subsidiaries ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and Fox (in that order). Their influence goes well beyond TV. They are very much into selection of news content and distribution to carriers like Radio, Newspapers, Book Publishing Houses, and news Internet Sites, cable networks, and Internet Service Providers too.

Investigative reporting takes a lot of money. The big 6 purchase selective stories from AP News, Routers, and others that invest these dollars. Individuals that take the time to read all their news from the source providers rather than the carriers are the most informed public. But, that takes work that few are willing to invest.

Answer 3

I'd like to think people interested enough to go vote will be willing to check out both the internet and tv sources.

I hate Fox News, but I do watch it on occasion because I do want to hear a different perspective.

It's too easy to wrap yourself up in one media outlet that panders to people with similar views on issues.

I watch MSNBC, CNN, Fox, or the BBC with a good dose of internet news thrown in.

In politics, I don't think there's such a thing as too informed.

Answer 4

Television in general. What I do think the internet will do is sink some candidates. Google is like the Patriot Act in reverse, it's what joe blow uses to expose the rarer moments of politicians. Senator Allen's macacca moment is a prime example from the last elections.

Answer 5

TV, since the greatest number of people who vote are the elderly. In future elections expect that to change, as we get introduced to a more tech savy generation taking the political power.

Answer 6

TV. The vast majority of voting americans are swayed by what goes down on TV.

Answer 7

Depends on what type of voters. The informed voters it will be bloggers on the net hands down. For all others sad to say it will be TV. That mindless box that parents of today let raise their kids.

Answer 8

I think TV (including cable) still gets the nod.

Answer 9

1) internet, if people understand that Hillary's FBI files on all the major media management (and some on-airs) prevent the major media from saying anything that would upset her.

Answer 10

Fox
