Ideology

When reading the first chapter in the book, the section on ideology caught my attention more that the others. I think it is interesting how a persons particular ideology about a person can be impacted so greatly by the media. I think that today it is seen a lot towards Obama and his beliefs and plans to change our country. There was a news program that was supposed to be non-bias, yet it was flashing pictures and videos of Obama that would give a person a horrible opinion of him. Its amazing how in todays society, we can be so easly manipulated by pictures in the media that may not be realistic. We each have our own opnion on certin things, but whether we realize it or not, we are influnced by the media. The way we look at things is what seperates us into our groups. an example would be republican and democratic, members of the groups have the same ideology on politics.
