Agenda Setting



This video was put together to show how the media set an agenda during the democratic debates during the last election. You can see how the public, during the debate, was largely agreeing with Obama's answer to the question; that he would meet with world leaders after the election with no preconditions. When Clinton answered the other way the public did not support her as much. The next part of a clip is a compilation of news clips that show how the media tried to persuade the audience that Clinton had the right idea and she had won the debate. When you watch it all together it makes a lot of sense.
