Pakistan's Silent Majority
I found this video clip very fascinating in relation to Entman's Projection of Power in chapter 3. It gives analysis for the question of support v. opposition of Pakastani President Musharraf. It is interesting that he believes he has supporters because of the successful election results, but in reality the majority of the voters, who live in rural areas, do not support him or his policies. This clip acts as an investigation, and visually shows the countryside, the people, and the honest opinion of their leader.

Michael, that was an interesting clip. I thought the last bit was especially noteworthy, as it talked about the feudal system's influence on the voting public. It seems like economics (or people's livelihoods, in this case) are often the cause of democracy's ineffectiveness.
