The USA PATRIOT Act was enacted in 2001 as a reponse to the September 11 attacks and signed by President George Bush. The name of this act is actually an acronym which stands for "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001"

It has generated controversy since its enactment as, due to the provisions included to increase national security. Its promoters argued it was a necessary measure to suceed on the war against terrorism. On the other hand, its detractors claimed that these provisions went against individual freedoms and basic civic rights.

For example, Tittle II confers increased powers to surveillance agencies and bodies dependent of the federal government. Some of these powers include authorizations for detentions of immigrants of indefinite duration, or to search homes or businesses without the consent or knowledge of its owner or tenant.

Occurs when television's symbols dominate other sources of information and ideas about the world.

Mama L [17]

Mainstreaming occurs in this particular circumstance. What mainstreaming means is, according to Stanley Baran and Dennis Davis authors of the book “Mass Communication Theory: Foundations, Ferment, and Future”, that television symbols make the main source of information and influence the most the person's view of the outside world. It makes person align more with what TV says than maybe what is actually, objectively true. This can be explained with the question similar to this one: Are economic austerity measures failing? We may think they are because someone on the TV is forcing that they are even if they are actually succeeding. That is why it is important to critically think and look at real, objective data and for television to be unbiased and objective as much as it can.
