More than a century before television came on the scene, Alexis de Toqueville wrote in Democracy in America, "The press...constitutes a singular power, so strangely composed of mingled good and evil that liberty could not live without it, and public order can hardly be maintained against it." That is a remarkably perceptive description of the role that television plays in presidential politics today.Terms of Use
