However, their attitudes began to change with every news broadcast. Night after night viewers watched as advocates of the Civil Rights Movement were mocked, mistreated, and beaten. The activists took no physical retaliation, and the media zeroed-in on this idea of nonviolence. It was a very important strategy for the success of the movement because viewers could not place the blame on the activists. Television portrayed those fighting for equality as the victims of a heartless villain--Society. People began soul-searching and questioned their own beliefs and morals. Many joined the protests, for it was through the use of television that Americans came to understand the importance and significance of the Civil Rights Movement. With the help of actual picture, TV media brought forth strong feelings of opposition toward segregation. The success and the disintegration of the Civil Rights Movement was accelerated by the power of television, because for many, seeing is believing.
The use of picture also had a large impact on the declining support for the Vietnam War. President Johnson was claiming that American soldiers were heroes and that the country was winning the war without a doubt. The media, however worked to undermined these suggested thoughts. Coverage of the Vietnam War showed brutal examples of the needless deaths of hundreds of American soldiers. Once again, television provoked viewers to question the morality of a different battle.
In these aspects, television was an important mechanism in getting Americans to challenge society and the things that it allows. Pictures created a sense of responsibility among the viewers; no longer could they let unjust things happen without any opposition. Television allowed American citizens to actually see what was going on around them. Yes, television was informative, but it was often very biased as well. The widespread use of television in America had a great effect on how Americans came to view the world.
