5. CONCLUSION
Since the advent of electronic media in the 1920s, social science research on
political persuasion has passed through three distinct phases. Academic social
scientists, who are predominantly liberal, were initially alarmed at the possibility
of right-wing propagandists virtually brainwashing them. The omnipotence of the
mass media has affected the masses. As time went by, the data started to pile up.
However, by the 1940s and 1950s, it was clear that this picture had been
exaggerated. In reality, for a long time, the opposing viewpoint was popular: that
the media is rarely successful in causing significant shifts in public opinion. This
general concept of limited media impact holds a lot of truth today, despite recent
developments.
