Answer 1

Interest groups and the mass media both influence the U.S. government by shaping public opinion, lobbying for policies, and promoting certain agendas. I believe the most important influence is the mass media because it has the power to reach a wider audience and inform citizens about important issues. Whether this influence is good or bad depends on the intentions and biases of the media source in question.
