The media, including outlets like CNN, Fox News, and NBC News, serve as intermediaries that inform the public about government actions, notably those of the White House and Presidency. The Presidential Press Secretary communicates the administration’s messages. Historical figures like Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy used "the bully pulpit"—the platform of the presidency—to influence public opinion. The White House Correspondents' Association represents journalists covering these events. The Agenda-Setting Theory explains how media shapes what issues are considered important. Major scandals like Watergate—investigated during Nixon’s presidency—highlight media’s role in holding leaders accountable, often inspiring political dramas like "The West Wing."
