As for the wording used in the article; I think it's appropriate and thoughtful in the beginning but towards the end it starts to degrade with phrases such as "bullshit detectors needs to be retuned". It would be good if an expert in the field could do something about it.

Fair use rationale for Image:Medeasfhsdl.jpg
Image:Medeasfhsdl.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Publication Details
I miss some publication details (such as name of the publisher, place etc.) that are important in order to understand what version of the book the page numbers refer to. --217.232.71.55 (talk) 12:55, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Entries in the table for radio/phone/TV?
Also, "It speaks, and yet says nothing." did Marshall McLuhan quote that? Saying it is from Romeo and Juliet doesnt make it a reference for verification.88.159.69.48 (talk) 14:37, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
