Believing that the media sets the agenda entirely on its own, and directs public discourse and awareness, is a bit too 1984 for me.

Yes exactly! people should be interested in such topics. I wasn't even alive in the 70's and i am still interested in this; and i am Australian
I think it's a shame if stuff like who Paris Hilton is gonna marry is condiered more interesting than this type of political news? It was one of the biggest political scandals in US history; surely this should be interesting???
On a farcical note; how come Deep Throat was named after a porn movie released in the same year? Was it his voice? i believe it was distorted or something in the recordings?
