We have recently discussed Herman Cain’s sexual harassment case and how his story has changed over the course of the past couple of weeks since it was brought to the public’s attention. He is facing a serious situation where his character and personal is put in to jeopardy if he does not address his case thoroughly. This article discusses Herman Cain’s position within the scandal. Since the scandal was exposed he changed his story a couple of times and is starting to lose his credibility in the media’s eye. People in the attentive public as well as the people in the senate want to get to the bottom of this situation. However, the prolonged response is getting people fed up. This article is conveying the anticipation of the people who are awaiting Herman Cain’s genuine response to the sexual harassment accusations. The article talks about how he needs to speak up soon or his position running for the 2012 presidency will not be taken seriously by others. This article relates to concept of priming, which is when the media sets up certain things to prime the audience to think a certain way. If Cain fails to address these accusations soon then people will not start to take him seriously, and this article can induce that notion.
