【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 llied public opinion to stay the course against Hitleramp。rsquo。s Germany, he didnamp。rsquo。t have to contend with a gaggle of mentators raising doubts about whether he was reading public opinion right, or whether Britain had the stamina to see the war through. When President Kennedy rallied the nation in the Cuban missile crisis, his address to the people was not chewed over by a roundtable of critics who disparaged the course of action heamp。rsquo。d asked America to follow.

We cannot measure this power and influence by the traditional democratic standards, for these men can create national issues overnight. They can make or break by their coverage and mentary a moratorium on the war. They can elevate men from obscurity to national prominence within a week. They can reward some politicians with national exposure and ignore others.
For millions of Americans the network reporter who covers a continuing issue like the ABM or civil rights
