No, but that is not the point. The point is how media change the way politics is made and ultimately shape the society. For example, I think it could be argued that mass media (newspapers, radio) heavily contributed to the totalitarian drift of the first half of the twentieth century in Europe: pervasive communication without proper balances can be effectively used to hammer slogans into people's heads.
I think we are now in a similar situation: we have an entirely new media and we haven't had time yet to adjust to it and to find its rules and limits. And I think this is very dangerous.
