This video displays the slandering opponents in the presidential campaign use against one another. This amount of degrading was never possible before the coming of mass media. Now a days those running are able to delve into the pasts of there opponents far too easily and dig up unnecessary dirt to degrade each other. Presidential elections and become more of a popularity contest than determining who is best fit to lead the country for the next four years. One nice twist to this video is that it also covers the topic of videos made from the masculine view covered in class. This once again is done because it appeals to the viewers, not to degrade women. On second thought maybe it is. Maybe it is designed to degrade Hillary Clinton just a smidge.
