"Without examining the media, we cannot comprehend American politics."
Respond to this claim with particular (though not exclusive) attention to the 2008 election. Include an evaluation of how that actual performance comports with your normative vision of the role of media in a democratic polity, and suggest how we might bridge whatever gaps you identify between the ideal and the real.
Present your argument and analysis with links to sources, embedded images, and video; and support your claims by reference to materials we have read (including those that I have posted to this blog), viewed, and discussed over the course of the semester.
That is, make an argument and defend it.
Post your approximately 3,500-word response on your blog only between 9:45-10:00 PM on December 31.

Should the jumping-off claim be changed to read "Without examining the media, we cannot comprehend American _elections_"?
