Everybody?

---

Everybody who had a television perhaps was watching the same program, but of course not everybody had a television. And not only for economic reasons.

My compatriot from the polling station had a number of different election propaganda CDs not because he collected them, but because this was his way of seeing them. Since he doesn't have a television at home, his computer became his means of being exposed to election propaganda. In this light it's perhaps logical that the two CDs that he gave me from extreme, but not by definition religious, parties were rather short, while on the other hand the CD from his own party was about 35 minutes long. Simply put, this was a television program for people without television and it tried to pack as much into one CD as possible. The other parties who distributed CDs apparently knew that their CDs weren't the only means of getting their propaganda to the convinced, and thus didn't have to pack everything in to one CD. The PC as a means of disseminating information to people without televisions is a fascinating topic for further exploration.
