Vice President Spiro Agnew speaks at a midwest regional Republican party meeting, discussing the importance of the television medium for the American people. He expresses concern that President Nixon is unable to disseminate information to the citizens of the United States without news commentators and analysts rebuking him, saying that such great figures as Winston Churchill and John F. Kennedy didn't face such obstacles to their leadership. He speaks of the great power wielded by the TV networks, saying that they have a virtual monopoly over an entire medium of communication.
