We commonly hear the phrase, “History has a way of repeating itself.” In Barbara F. McManus’ Notes On Roman Politics, we are given a comparison of how our modern day politics correlates to that of the politics of BCE. To start off the article, McManus states that the senatorial class, which was primarily in charge of political affairs, was mainly composed of noble families. This was largely because running a campaign was a costly affair, much like it is today. The senatorial class was made up

It is in this mindset that we question exactly why we put the government in charge so frequently and where the morals have gone.

A distinctive feature of US politics, in comparison with most other industrialized nations in the world, is its virtual lack of class-based politics. President George W. Bush, for instance, has said that class is for ‘European democracies or something else—it isn’t for the United States of America. We are not going to be divided by class’ (cited in Harrigan, 2000: 6).

For example, Fox News is usually considered to be biased towards conservatives, and its more favorable coverage of the Republican party.
