MASS MEDIA AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN POLITICS I. INTRODUCTION The importance of the mass media1 in today's society cannot be over- estimated. Especially in the arena of policy-making, the media's influ- ence has helped shape the development of American government. To more fully understand the political decision-making process in this coun- try it is necessary to understand the media's role in the performance of political officials and institutions. The significance of the media's influ- ence was expressed by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: "The Press has become the greatest power within Western countries, more powerful than the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary. One would then like to ask: '2 By what law has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?" The importance of the media's power and influence can only be fully appreciated through a complete understanding of who or what the media are.

It was an exercise in living on minimal standard subsistence food, poor equipment and clothing, and minimal navigational guides. And though they received emotional support from friends and family, experts and those with experience on the route were spar in their encouragement. What I find even more amazing was that the young Sevareid was able to write and publish his book covering this saga while still an undergraduate student at the U of Minnesota. I was able to detect flashes of brilliance in the writing of this amazing year-old, who would go on to become one of America's great journalists.

    CBS NEWS INQUIRY "The Warren Report" Part IV as broadcast over the CBS TELEVISION NETWORK Wednesday, June 28, 1967 10:00-11:00 PM, EDT With CBS NEWS Correspondents Walter Cronkite Dan Rather Eric Sevareid and KRLD-TV News Director Eddie Barker EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Leslie Midgley 1967. Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc. All rights reserved. WALTER CRONKITE: Good evening. For the past three nights we have been examining the circumstances of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. On Sunday, we returned to Dealey Plaza to recreate that fatal motorcade ride beneath the windows of the Texas School Book Depository. Believing that rifle tests conducted by the Warren Commission were less than adequate, we conducted new tests, more closely simulating the conditions of the actual murder. We found hitherto undiscovered evidence in film of the murder itself, that the killer had more time than the minimal 5.6 seconds indicated in the Warren Report to get the shots off. And we concluded that beyond reasonable doubt, Oswald was indeed at least one of the killers. But was there more than one? On Monday night, we interviewed eyewitnesses who said all the shots came from the School Book Depository. And others equally insistent that there were shots from the grassy knoll overlooking the motorcade itself. We tested more exhaustively than did the Warren Commission the extremely controversial single bullet theory, found that one bullet could, indeed, have wounded both the President and Governor Connally. We heard autopsy surgeon, James Humes, break three and a half years of silence to report that he has re-examined the X-rays and photographs of the President's body, and still has no doubt that all the shots struck from behind.

    “Demonization in Democracy” Dylan Marando Demonization in Democracy Dylan Marando We are in a conflict between good and evil, and America will call evil by its name. - George W. Bush Politics and Religion The First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America declares: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” The amendment is a classic expression of the desire to separate Church and State. It is a clear sign that, though the founding fathers of America respected personal religion and its effects on morality, they were somewhat fearful of the proven power of religious institutions to become the force of law. 1 Therefore, the architects of American ideology strove to achieve the disestablishment of faiths by creating absolute divisions between institutions of a spiritual nature and institutions of a political nature. It is crucial to recognize, however, that the separation of Church and State does not necessarily, and has not historically, led to the separation of religion and politics. In many ways what the above legislation does is merely make “religion an open marketplace in which religious groups [are] free to compete for the bodies and souls of the people.”2 It provides every religion with an equal opportunity to edify or corrupt the minds of the American public and the elected officials that represent them. The aim of this essay will be to explore how religious conceptions of evil have shaped serious political dialogue in the United States. The essay will argue that notions of evilness have been used by the political establishment to create a sense of extreme and inherent otherness and, therefore, to distract citizens from the substance of complex and often unjustified policy programs.

Though Jews had been living in Minnesota since the mid- nineteenth century, the end of World War I marked the beginning of a decades- long period during which Jews faced discrimination and exclusion from both formal and informal cultural and economic networks. Fears and hardship brought on by the Great Depression exacerbated underlying racial and religious tensions. In the 1920s, Minnesota’s Ku Klux Klan targeted Jews, Catholics, and immi- grants, as well as people of color. An increase in nativist sentiment, in part a reaction to the Russian Rev- olution of 1917, also resulted in the immigration quota system of 1924.
