The magazine cited an example. In 1992, when then-President Reagan met with a youth group, one person present stated, "I notice that it's the media that is responsible for the negative portrayal of young people in our society. What can political leaders do to persuade the media that there is good news about youth?"
大西洋月刊舉例，一九九二年，美國總統和青少年代表會談，有人就提及，「媒體要為社會上青少年負面形象負責，政治人物能不能說服媒體，年輕人也有好的一面？」
