  • Journalists Denying Liberal Bias, Part Three
    Journalists Denying Liberal Bias, Part Three More examples of journalists denying their liberal bias: "I'm not going to judge anybody else in the business, but our work — I can speak for NBC News and our newsroom — it goes through, talk about checks and balances. We have an inordinate number of editors. Every word I write, before it goes on air, goes through all kinds of traps and filters, and it's read by all kinds of different people who point out bias." — CNBC anchor Brian Williams on Comedy Central's The Daily Show, July 29, 2003. "Our greatest accomplishment as a profession is the development since World War II of a news reporting craft that is truly non-partisan, and non-ideological....It is that legacy we must protect with our diligent stewardship. To do so means we must be aware of the energetic effort that is now underway to convince our readers that we are ideologues. It is an exercise of, in disinformation, of alarming proportions, this attempt to convince the audience of the world's most ideology-free newspapers that they're being subjected to agenda-driven news reflecting a liberal bias. I don't believe our viewers and readers will be, in the long-run, misled by those who advocate biased journalism." — New York Times Executive Editor Howell Raines accepting the 'George Beveridge Editor of the Year Award,' February 20, 2003. CBS's Lesley Stahl: "Today you have broadcast journalists who are avowedly conservative.... The voices that are being heard in broadcast media today, are far more likely to be on the right and avowedly so, and therefore, more — almost stridently so, than what you're talking about." Host Cal Thomas: "Can you name a conservative journalist at CBS News?" Stahl: "I don't know of anybody's political bias at CBS News....We try very hard to get any opinion that we have out of our stories, and most of our stories are balanced." — Exchange on the Fox News Channel's After Hours with Cal Thomas, January 18, 2003.

  • Born Again with Trump the Portrayal of Evangelicals in the Media
    Born Again with Trump The Portrayal of Evangelicals in the Media Eun-Young Julia Kim, Andrews University Abstract Since Trump’s ascendancy in American politics and his subsequent election, a number of articles have surfaced in the media trying to explain evangelical voters’ support of Trump. This paper analyzes common descriptions and conceptions of evangelicals by identifying recurring descriptions of evangelicals in 110 online articles published in a two-and-a-half-year period surrounding Trump’s presidential campaign and election. The results indicate that the answer to the question as to why evangelicals support Trump resides not so much in their theology, but in their aspirations for America and assumptions of what America should be like. This paper argues that it is crucial to recognize and address evangelicals’ prevailing attributes as perceived and portrayed by members of their own society in order to keep evangelicalism from descending into an insular, invalid expression. Keywords: evangelicals and conservative politics, politicization of religion, public opinion, sociology of religion, Trump and evangelicals Introduction Evangelicals’ role in modern U.S. politics has been widely studied (e.g., Brint and Abrutyn; Gushee; Lienesch; Lipset and Raab; Smidt 1988; Wilcox 1986). However, their role received a greater focus in the period surrounding the 2016 U.S. presidential election. With the election of Donald Trump, evangelicals have been placed at the front and center as his key voting bloc in various religious and political discourses. The fact that eighty-one percent of white evangelicals, who self-identified as “born-again Christians,” voted for Trump (Smith and 1 Born Again with Trump Martinez) and that their support has not waned in the course of his tumultuous presidency (Smith) has baffled many non-supporters and outsiders.

  • Citizens Against Government Waste 2008 CONGRESSIONAL PIG
    Citizens Against Government Waste 2008 CONGRESSIONAL PIG BOOK ® SUMMARY “The Book Washington Doesn’t Want You to Read” Praise for CAGW and the Pig Book “Citizens Against Government Waste is Washington's leading opponent of pork-barrel spending. Its annual Pig Book, which lists the government's narrow giveaways, is used by news outlets worldwide to ridicule federal earmarks.” Jeff Birnbaum, The Washington Post, February 20, 2007. “Every taxpayer should read the Pig Book… Congress won't stop picking our pockets for wasteful pork projects in which the federal government has no business unless they are forced to by taxpayers. Read the Pig Book and weep. Then, get angry and do something.” Syndicated Columnist Cal Thomas, March 29, 2005 “Neither rain, nor sleet or snow, or war or a bumpy economy, it seems, can stop the pork train from pulling out of the congressional station. Citizens Against Government Waste has issued its annual Congressional Pig Book Summary… This year's budget may finally slay the myth that there is anyone who can credibly claim to be a fiscal conservative inside the Washington beltway.” Asheville Citizen Times, April 17, 2004 “Citizens Against Government Waste is a watchdog group that keeps track of which politicians squander the most federal money on ‘pork’ - those expenditures that are added after the normal budget process to help a particular group instead of the nation as a whole. ” John Stossell, 20/20 “I believe that this book should be read by every citizen in America…What is being done here by CAGW, in my view, is of the greatest importance.
