Government and Media

Government and media work together to inform the public. This is especially evident during election time when commercials come out attacking a certain politician and their opponent. These commercials are used to sway the publics view by digging up any thing in their past that might change society's judgment when it comes time to vote and decide who is more prepared these commercials stick in the voters head.

The media is also helpful to the public because it keeps the government in line. Because of the first amendment there is freedom of press which allows the news to expose any government affairs to the public.

The government and media work together and choose what information is released to the public. They use different tactics such as stonewalling which is when people refuse to have a statement when being interviewed.
