Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1. Define horse race journalism as the media's tendency to comment more on who is ahead in the polls than on a candidate's actual positions on issues.
2. Explain how the obsession with game, or tactics and strategies of the campaigns, that accompanies horse race journalism has the effect of displacing the coverage of political issues.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Define political socialization as the education process by which citizens acquire political beliefs, attitudes, and values.
2. Explain that while the media themselves are factors in the political socialization process, our political beliefs and values provide a lens through which we filter our perceptions of the media and the content they deliver.
3. Illustrate the point by drawing upon the example in the text of how a Republican from Arizona might see bias in the liberal eastern networks (or some other relevant example).

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
