Question opinion
September 1st, 2008Question opinion
Leading Questions examines the power of professional pollsters to influence public opinion. Nearly everyone - from the makers of cake mix to network executives and candidates for high office - seeks to become the intimate of our private opinions. In the hands of campaign consultants, sophisticated techniques of market research become tools of political persuasion. Leaders find out what we think so they can tell us that's what they think too. The public is soothed into feeling good instead of thinking critically. Techniques are designed to bring out the most emotional visuals with which to appeal to an increasingly indifferent society. Politics becomes a spectator sport instead of a participatory process, and the public debate becomes a meaningless theatrical event. Bill Moyers explores the image and reality in America - how public opinion is formed through the mingling of fact and fiction in a society saturated with images.VHS Tape: Color
