电视应该在我们选择政治领袖时发挥如此之大的影响吗? In the United States, the presidential debates are one of the most important events of the campaigns. Elections can be won or lost based on these debates. The Great Debate, 1960. Two candidates: Richard Nixon and John F.

PROFESSOR:

Kennedy. Nixon, a Republican with years of experience. Kennedy, the Democrat candidate, criticized by many as being too young and inexperienced. 1960 was the first year the debates were televised. The debate drew over 66 million viewers out of a population of 179 million, making it one of the most watched broadcasts in US television history.

PROFESSOR:

Nixon was a champion debater and welcomed the opportunity to debate with his opponent on national TV. But, unfortunately for Nixon, television can be unflattering to the.... 'average looking'' person. Kennedy had a young, handsome face, and his recentcampaigning in California had given him a healthy tan. Nixon, on the other hand, waspale and still recovering from a recent flu. He appeared thin and sickly.

PROFESSOR:

He arrived at the debate in a gray suit and he refused makeup to improve his color. TheTV audience watched Nixon looking sweaty and pale, while Kennedy appeared young,athletic, handsome, and poised. Polls taken after the first debate showed that mostpeople who listened to it on the radio felt that Nixon had won, while most who watched iton television thought Kennedy the winner. In fact, the debates had made Kennedy looklike the winner. The 'Great Debates'' between Kennedy and Nixon forced people to rethink how politics would work in the television era.

PROFESSOR:

Not only did they push an unlikely candidate to victory, but they also brought in an era in which television dominated the electoral process.
