Passage:
The White House rejects the notion of overexposure. "It's an anachronistic debate, because of the fragmentation of the press," Dan Pfeiffer says. "With the Internet, with You Tube, with TiVo, with cable TV, people are selective viewers now. There may be a group of people in Washington who watch 'Nightline,' 'The daily Show,' 'Good Morning America,' and 'Meet the Press,' and they see obama five times. Most people in America see him once at most....People approach their news consumption the way they approach their iPOD: you download the songs you like and listen to them when you want to listen to them. That infects our strategy in where the president goes and where he doesn't.
This passage come from the third back page, the Second paragraph on the first line. In this passage Dan Pfeiffer is talking to everyone in general. He is saying how people now a days have access to pick and choose where and what they want to watch. SInce, there are many popular websites ou there, many of the cable shows are not been used to watch the news.
Its interesting how Dan Pfeiffer compares the way people approach the news and downloading music. Becuase he is making a literate simile between these too. As a hole, i think the passage in the story ties up together by, how the news has chnaged. How one topic of the news grabs the attention of others more than another topic. For example, how he talked about when Obama was running in the elections and how when he first came into office, how everyone was interested in what he did, what he wear, and his family.
