With Psycho, Hitchcock asserted that he "was playing [the audience] like an organ" -- "I was directing the viewers." And Durgnat agrees: "Psycho works through suggestion, through atmosphere, not stating ideas, but generating them, in the minds of the audience" (Durgnat 1)
The simplest montage consists of two shots, one following the other, while a complex montage may extend for a number of shots edited in such a way as to produce a precise impact the viewer (also known as the Kuleshov Effect). Eisenstein, largely credited with introducing the montage technique, states that there are essentially five montage methods -- metric, rhythmic, tonal, overtonal, and intellectual (Eisenstein 72-82)
Playing games is nice and fun -- but this is not North by Northwest. The rug has been pulled out from under the feet of the viewers in the theater; the bottom has given way -- and what is behind the false-bottom is an impenetrable mystery, which Hitchcock will now exploit for the remainder of the film, for both his own delight and those in the audience who have caught on to the real plot of the story (Gottlieb xxii)
Hitchcock ultimately represents Berne's idea in the encounter between Norman and Marion; earlier, between Marion and Cassidy; and, earlier still, as just explained, between Marion and Sam (Durgnat 49). The montage sequence seems to suggest "romance," a standard genre already thoroughly explored by Hitchcock in previous films; but there are hints along the way which show that Psycho is actually an "anti-romance" (Kapsis 56) -- in fact, a horror film, unlike anything he had made before
The splitting of the letters of the title (in unexpected directions -- up and down as opposed to a sideways movement already established by the gray bands) suggests a schizophrenic theme. The film literally splits apart with the murder of the female lead in scene 114 and reveals the actual, brutal direction of the narrative: Hitchcock is not making a woman-on-the-run film nor a tangled-romance thriller but something completely different: he is making a horror film based on the study of a psychologically disturbed young man (Rebello; Spoto)

Marion's own incongruous actions and mental disturbance foreshadow the actual focus of the film -- the "doubled or split personality" (Spoto 264)
Hitchcock's shower scene montage is rooted in the art of subtlety and suggestion. As Truffaut states, "it is the art of creating a specific dramatic mood without recourse to dialogue, and finally the art of leading us from one emotion to another, at the rhythm of our own sensitivity" (Truffaut 19)
Identifying business issues and situating the role of the presentation in the entire sales and business process can generate learning interesting already. It is also important that the presentation lists key message and suggest solutions and recommendations (Hoffman, n
These immediate factors in turn, are a function of the characteristics of the audience, support used by the presenter, and factors fixed in the environment." (Vogel, Dickson, and Lehman, 1986, p
The results of this analysis were mixed as some shows seemingly trended one way or the other or were mostly neutral politically (Groseclose & Milyo, 2005). Psychology journals have even looked at the possible psychological impact of perceived or actual media bias (Babad, 2005)
Another study focused on the scrutiny focused on then-Presidential candidate Barack Obama was based on hard news gathering or if it was being unduly influenced by people outside of the traditional news and media sphere that had it in for him (Bowman, 2008). Others have gone so far as to say that the new media is subverting cultural transmission and is actually insidious by nature (Barkow, O'Gorman & Rendell, 2012)
One example of this was when the established media was accused in 2012 of being anti-Israel, almost to the point of being anti-Semitic (Cohen, 2012). Another accusation leveled against the old media is that they live in a "fantasy land" that is based on a desired reality rather than a real one (Bowman, 2012)

A number or examples borne out by research are readily apparent. For example, newspapers have been accused of offering very slanted and biased coverage regarding immigration policy in the United States and the accused motivations and causes for this include economic and geographical biases (Branton & Dunaway, 2009)
The older established media, there has been a media war underway between "old media" and "new media" outlets and there are many real-world examples of this that are readily findable in research. One example of this was when the established media was accused in 2012 of being anti-Israel, almost to the point of being anti-Semitic (Cohen, 2012)
For example, newspapers have been accused of offering very slanted and biased coverage regarding immigration policy in the United States and the accused motivations and causes for this include economic and geographical biases (Branton & Dunaway, 2009). There have even been studies done as to whether news outlets like Fox News and their alleged tactics in misreporting the news are swaying the voting patterns of the American populace (DellaVigna & Kaplan, 2007)
Others have gone so far as to say that the new media is subverting cultural transmission and is actually insidious by nature (Barkow, O'Gorman & Rendell, 2012). Similarly, another "scholarly" outlet outright referred to the new media as shallow, divisive and unreliable (Fallows, 2011)
Another more broad survey focused on the aggregate news coverage of major news shows and whether they trended towards the liberal point-of-view or the conservative point-of-view. The results of this analysis were mixed as some shows seemingly trended one way or the other or were mostly neutral politically (Groseclose & Milyo, 2005)
Many people hail this dawning news dimension as a hallmark of the new media age and that it should be embraced rather than condemned or shunned (Penman & Turnbull, 2012). One of the reasons this new technology is embraced is that it greatly increases the globalization of both the news process and the ability of people to converse with each other regardless of where in the world that they are (Guo-Ming, 2012)
Some accusations were broader than that. Some studies alleged an entrenched bias over the years against female presidential or vice presidential candidates ranging from Geraldine Ferraro in the 1980's to the more recent example of Hillary Clinton (Kintz, 2008)
