Speaking Directly to Me by Milton R Bass
Milton R Bass argues TV shaped modern politics as Lyndon Johnson and Nixon used prime time to address the nation directly. He praises Nixon’s veto moment and warns networks risk bias by not treating the public forum as a platform for direct presidential messaging. He contemplates risks of a future where media bypasses Congress and concentrates power.
