"More Viewing Less Knowledge"

"Despite all the coverage, people in the United States knew remarkably little about many crucial aspects of the back round and context of the war. The more people knew, the less likely they were to support the war; the less they knew, the more strongly they supported the war. People who generally watched a lot of television showed dramatically lower levels of knowledge and were substantially more likely to strongly support the use of military force against Iraq."

This goes back to what Ewen was saying about the portrayal of the war through the media. It says that people who watch more television are more likely to support the war and military force against Iraq. The reasoning behind this is that the media is not giving Americans all the facts about the war. We do not have a full understanding of why we are at war. There is no back round of why we invaded Iraq. Therefore Americans are left with no choice but to believe what we watch on television. The media can not explain the full back round and current story of the Iraq war. In conclusion of this article many believe that the media failed in relaying information to the public.
