watch this short interview with Marshal McLuhan about the 1976 presidential debate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF8jej3j5vA Then watch the debate itself (just 10 minutes or so): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF8jej3j5vA
After watching it, please write a short response analyzing WHY McLuhan critiqued the debate as “not appropriate” for the medium of television?
talk about whether you think televised debates make sense anymore given all the ways technology can produce other kinds of information (through Twittter and other social media; interactive websites etc.) Has technology gotten too sophisticated for traditional political debate?
