In the US television networks can attempt to influence Americans by the coverage and commentaries they give to public issues or elected officials and candidates for office, among many other points of interest, such as the US economy. TV can give honest and full coverage to various issues. With that said, TV has the power to influence the way people think or vote depending on the political views of a particular TV network. Here's an example, currently there is no weekly, or monthly accounting for battle deaths of US soldiers in Afghanistan. A TV network that has a hidden agenda about the US troops in that country could feature events on Afghanistan that seem to indicate that troops should remain longer there or be withdrawn as soon as possible.Here's another example. A particular candidate running for elected office, may have taken some open positions on issues, or voted on issues that have been shown to have resulted in unfavorable consequences. A TV network can find a reason to bring these issues to the public many times. So much so that people are constantly reminded of them. This may be seen as a method to influence Americans.
