Moderated by Eugene H. Wilson. The speaker claims there is a gap between the people and the media, which is not doing their job: they fail to inform the public and they promote controversy. He claims that news is being filtered through a person's voice and face by 2 elements in the media: sight and sound (television and radio). Instead, he contends that the media should document issues at the heart of our national security, such as improving education. He feels that news stories should relate to the public's interests. He concludes that knowledge, constructive controversy and genuine enlightenment fuel the government by the people and for the people.
