媒介的力量诚然伟大,但绝非无所不能,所以,我们不能对媒介和修辞寄予超过去其本身能力范围的期望。修辞学呈现在我们面前的抵抗“媒介压迫”的责任,并不是说我们必须消灭媒介,更不是说我们要臣服于媒介,而是,我们要以一种有效合理的方式驾驭媒介,以使我们的思想在传播中,信息差能够被控制在尽可能小的范围,从而实现终极的表达自由与理解自由。 The power of the media is, of course, great, but by no means omnipotent, so we can not place the media and rhetoric over expectations that go beyond their own capacity. Rhetoric’s responsibility to resist “media oppression” before us does not mean that we must eliminate the media, not to mention that we have to submit to the media. Rather, we must control the media in an effective and rational manner. In spreading our ideas, the information gap can be kept as small as possible so that the ultimate freedom of expression and understanding can be achieved.
