Thanks for voting!

The question is phrased too directly to be answered without qualifications. There are too many nuances to consider.

Ask not what you can do for yourself; ask what you can do for your government.

Dear Han,

Eureka is quite right, even asking "Is the media more of a boon than a bane?" would have been better.

Thanks for the tips. I'm writing a paper about the media and the government in the United States and I was wondering if the media helped or not or actually just put everyone in a state of panic (especially after 911). And August1991, what does the media have to do with what i can do for the government?
