Gould talks about the shift in media relations that occurred during Reagan's presidency. He states on page 197 that, "As prominent journalists became well-paid personalities in their own right, their sympathy for the conservative political positions grew. The evolving attitude toward politics emphasized entertainment over substance, and Reagan's presidency provided compelling drama that boosted the ratings as well.
In this clip, Reagan is self-deprecating, charming and amusing. He is likable and entertaining to watch but his answers lack substance.
