It's common knowledge that the media often dictates topics of political discourse. This manipulation is called agenda setting. These hot topics are seldom of any real importance to the American Public, however, much time is devoted to debating them. I'm sure you can think of a few of these topics.
How far can this go? Imagine the next presidential debate. How do you think the candidates might respond to a question like "Should Paris Hilton have served more time for her crimes?" or "Isn't Katie Holms too young for Tom Cruise?"

Did you mean 'manipulation'?
But yes I do agree. Another great example is when Baby Bush finally got a microscope inserted into his anus, and the news channels wanted to have this 24 hour colonoscopy special.
The next presidential debate should just be based on penis size; the man with the bigger dick is right.
Sorry Hillary, members only.
Thanks, I fixed teh typo.
PS: I left the above typo as a reminder of how much better you are at spelling.
