“Public speaking is the process of presenting a message to an audience, small or large”.
Hearing about current world events cannot be avoided or ignored. Take a look at any media device, newspaper, television, radio, etc., and what do you hear? The Presidential race is taking off and candidates are utilizing all channels to relay their messages in an effort to obtain votes.
While the strength of media sources has the ability to reach the public in large numbers, often the weakness is the noise of the announcers.

This form of internal noise

When the world becomes so conditioned to not talk about the uncomfortable issues, it becomes easy to forget how harmful they truly are.

It was also, as we reported later, the sort of thing he could monetize no matter what, as mailing lists are worth money even if they’re full of fake
Television is a form of communication that can be used to transfer information to the general public, and its full value and effects can be seen at all times, especially during election seasons.

However, this positive influence could distract people from focusing on policy and turn the election into a popularity contest.

A qualified, enthusiastic public speaker draws from his or her own experiences, and portrays them in a way that appeals to the audience. Although public speakers usually have expertise in another field (business, finance or sports, for example), they can translate their life experiences into stories that inspire others. Dedicated public speakers won’t treat speaking to your employees as a sideline. They enjoy speaking to groups and motivating others, and it shows in their presentation.
This paper will go over the three main goals I would like to achieve in my public speaking career. My first goal is to improve upon the structure of my speeches to ensure that the topics that I discuss are in an order that will make sense to the audience. My second main goal I have for improving my public speaking skills is to improve on my confidence before, during, and after my speech. Finally, my last goal is to raise my delivery skills when I am giving my speech to assure the audience that I am confident and that I am a credible person. Together, these goals will help improve my public speaking skills.
A present day example for Zinn’s main position is Republican candidate for the 2016 elections, Donald Trump.

Despite his obvious racism he is currently the top GOP candidate
While other forms of media have gained more influence in recent years, television continues to be a key source of political information for the American public.
