One president who was particularly successful in playing to the media was Ronald Reagan. Hailed as one of the most successful administrations for foreign policy, Reagan was a controversial figure because of his Hollywood career. A somewhat well-known actor, Reagan was pinned by his opponents as a fool because of his lack of political knowledge.
