  • In 1976, Syracuse political scientists Thomas Patterson and Robert D. McClure published The Unseeing Eye: The Myth of Television Power in National Elections, detailing the controversial and groundbreaking results of one of the first rigorous and systematic studies of television's impacts on the outcomes of an election.
