This comic strip is making fun of how the media truly effects politics. Obviously for anything, the president or anyone who is important in the White House has to have approval from the House of Congress. However, these people should have the support of these popular shows like Oprah, Larry King, Letterman, and Leno because of the fact that these shows can mold the public thinking. These soft news shows can polarize the voting process and really influence the public to vote or think a certain way. For example, Oprah is strongly and publicly supporting Barack Obama's campaign. There are probably so many other people who started to support Obama's campaign just because these people admire Oprah. So, this comic shows that the media can really influence politics.
