tuned into Obama's acceptance speech,
reports say. What can we make of that? Is that a large or small number? Does it tell us anything about what effects it may have upon voters? Which matters more, given the current media environment -- the event itself, or the narrative the media (in all their various forms) make of it?
I'm not going to speculate about the reasons behind that number. However, the media, http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D92S3HOG1&show_article=1, among others, have been stressing the enormity of that amount by placing it in relation to other large events in recent history.
ReplyDeleteTo kind of distill the media narrative - it was really big.
