clinton scandal
The Media and Its Role in the Clinton-Lewinsky ScandalWhen the Framers of the Constitution specified freedom of the press, they envisioned that this would nurture and guide the development of a thriving, healthy democracy. They envisioned a democracy that centers on a core set of beliefs: liberty, equality, self-government, individualism, diversity, and unity. These beliefs are part of today’s political culture. Americans have always cherished, but at the same time they have deplored the excess of the media in the exercise of that freedom.During the recent Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, the press has both contributed to the health of our democracy and it has also been detrimental to our democracy and its institutions. However, the press has been far more detrimental to our democracy than it has been helpful in light of this scandal. People learn more from television coverage of an event than they learn from any other source. However, it takes a great deal of information for the average person to absorb a specific issue. People are presented with too much information from numerous media outlets. They tend not to grab the story until the event continues to make the news for an extended period of time. People make more informed decisions
