The 4th Estate of Power (the media) has an interesting position in the United States compared to other governments I have observed. Though via the Media, the Government is kept in check, to an extent at least. It seems that the Media also elevates politicians to the level of celebrities, which skews the political system entirely when the time to elect a president arrives. The populous, at least a percentage of them, then votes for one or the other candidate out of purely unpolitical reason. (e.g. It's popular to vote for the one or the other, or one finds Candidate "A" to be more attractive than Candidate "B" and therefore votes for Candidate "A".
