Question by Glen B: How would you vote if televisions and mainstream media didn’t exist?
Imagine the mainstream media did not exist, televisions were not around and the only way people got information was from reading newspapers, radio and word of mouth.
Do you think this would have a profound affect in current times when it comes to voting for candidates?
Do you think the current and past partys’ from as far back as 40 years ago may be different if mainstream media and television did not exist?
What kind of impact would it have on your personal political affiliation?
Please explain.
I know the question itself isn’t catchy but I would really like to know a lot of peoples opinion on this.

Obama uses the mainstream media of yesterday, that is why he is actually raising the funds that he has acquired in his campaign chest. He is to be commended, job well done.
TV and the Internet do, have a profound effect to reach the voters, however, many still believe in grassroots movements and townhall meetings, and the ultimate is “word of mouth”.
Such as: “Hey, call Old Charlie Brown and ask him who we should vote for.” And, this is why townhall meetings prevail over the TV and the Internet or the mainstream media that you are referring to.
Good question, I enjoyed thinking about this.
