The Baltimore Sun quoted Faculty Fellow Philip Seib about the Obama family’s appearances on TV shows like “Iron Chef America” and “The Colbert Report.” “Obama and his people understand that you have to constantly pop up in all these different venues like ESPN, the Food Network, and Comedy Central because the audience has become so segmented – so chopped up,” Seib said. “It used to be if you wanted to reach the majority of the American public, you just called up Walter Cronkite and said, ‘Come on, we’ll give you a half-hour in the White House.’ And that was it, you were done. But that’s a long time ago now.”
