Mass Media II

Tocqueville on the influence of the media (p. 186):
It makes political life circulate in every corner of that vast land. Its eyes are never shut, and it lays bare the secret shifts of politics, forcing public figures in turn to appear before the tribune of public opinion. The press rallies public opinion around certain doctrines and gives shape to party slogans; through the press the parties, without actually meeting, listen and argue with one another.
