This ad on MSN.com is one example of how media is encouraging this false sense of participation. Everyone wants to feel as though they are contributing towards to the outcome of the 2008 Election. Who wouldn't want to be the "Star of the Election?"

I like this... A good example of false participation.
It is a good example. Wouldn't it be nice if our own media encouraged actual and not just perceived participation?
great example--really good find. and tells me that Tuesday's class could have better: I could have invited students to find examples of the different fantasies, just like you did. for those who like hands on learning, they most likely would have learned more.
