Canadian Media Theorist, Marshall McLuhan, had described the impact of television as a participatory environment, like a tribal community of a pre-literate peoples, surviving along with one another. Street riots, later on, protesting the Vietnam mis-adventure--when televised, would naturally be regarded an engaging outcome of a community, surviving along with one another.
An Abberation would be the Mason Family, Charles Manson still incarcerated. There were communes, and in that case: A demon cult. Some allege drug abuse, widespread--if memory maybe doesn't serve so well(?)!
The Republican Conservatives could likely now be on board with a kind of McLuhan type analysis. Even on the internet, "The Whole World Is Watching." Commentary like this excerpt appears. Lyndon Johnson would become the victim of the community outbursts, surviving along with one another.

"Still, the unusually detailed accounts of inner turmoil frustrated Trump's allies in the media, like Matt Drudge, who runs the enormously influential conservative aggregation website Drudge Report.
"We never got 1 damaging leak out of Obama White House staff in 8 yrs. Under Trump, they appear hourly. BIG DANGER: Small leaks sink ships!!," Drudge said in a flurry of tweets.
"Trump advisers leaking to media are now deliberately sabotaging presidency. Major house cleaning needed for survival. Leaks on hour, every hour, will destroy Trump presidency. There's a Trojan horse plotting within the inner circle!"
As that drama played out, Trump also faced negative stories that appeared to originate with law enforcement officials angered by his handling of the Comey affair.
Those stories directly contradicted the White House's accounts of events.
The DOJ worked furiously to beat back against a story that Comey had asked for more resources and money for the Russia investigation just before he was fired. Acting FBI director Andrew McCabe dismissed that story Thursday at a public hearing.
But stories about FBI anger over Comey's firing gained traction, with CNN's Jake Tapper citing sources close to Comey saying the FBI director was fired because the investigation into potential ties between Trump's campaign and Russia was "accelerating."
Comey's allies also went to the press to shoot down Trump's claim that Comey had told him three times he was not at the center of the Russia investigation, an argument Trump first made in the letter he used to fire Comey.
The Washington Post later reported that deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein considered resigning because the administration had hung Comey's firing on a memo he put together at the president's request.
Those leaks and others ignited chatter among Trump's allies that FBI officials would retaliate against the president by planting negative stories about him in the press.
"Do we now have to worry about deep state officials that gather intelligence are going to go after Americans and the president politically, or the FBI, some that don't like him might be leaking to hurt this president?," Sean Hannity, one of Trump's top boosters in conservative media, asked on his Wednesday night show.
Dov Zakheim, a former Defense official in George W. Bush's administration, told The Hill those fears might not be far off.
"Should the administration be perceived as trying to influence, stall or undermine the investigation, there will be Justice lawyers and/or FBI agents or both who will see it as their patriotic duty and ethical imperative to leak to the press," Zakheim said.
