The Usage of Partisan News and Its Impact on Compromise Laura Evans Dissertation Research Committee: John Sides, Associate Professor of Political Science, Dissertation Director Kimberly Gross, Associate Professor of Media and Public Affairs, Committee Member Eric Lawrence, Associate Professor of Political Science, Committee Member ii Abstract of Dissertation The Usage of Partisan News and Its Impact on Compromise In the last few years news media has undergone massive fragmentation, calling into question the existence and sustainability of mass media. This trend is compounded by a rise in politically slanted news alternatives. This work will seek to uncover what impact this new media environment, particularly the ability it has given people to selectively choose their news consumption, has on cross-cutting political exposure, ideology and willingness to compromise. I argue that the ability to selectively choose which news outlets and what articles a person will read will cause ideologues to choose those that seem to fit their political point of view.

  • This Is What Occupy Wall Street Looks Like!
    Published on Coffee Party (http://www.coffeepartyusa.com) Home > Blogs > Coffee Party Nation's blog > Printer-friendly PDF What does Occupy Wall Street look like? This is what Occupy Wall Street looks like! Mon, 10/24/2011 - 8:24pm — Coffee Party Nation Occupy Wall Street[1] by John Park On October 5th, when the Steering Committee of Korean Americans for Political Advancement (KAPA), which includes two Coffee Party members, joined the 20,000+ people supporting the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) march, a KAPA member was interviewed by a New York Times reporter and later had her photograph uploaded online under the title: ?What to Wear to a Protest?? This does not reflect what Occupy Wall Street looks like, but it does reflect the problem of why people don?t know. Beholden to revenue-generating forces, even well-respected news establishments aren?t above commercializing resistance or viewing current events through green-tinted lenses. With banks annoying people into becoming their customers with a deluge of well-funded advertisements about what is ?priceless? or ?what?s in your wallet,? and media outlets unafraid of losing their financial support from OWS because, frankly, there isn?t any, it?s easy to see why most people aren?t getting a fair portrayal of who the Occupiers and supporters really are. And the banks aren?t just purchasing the influence of politicians?they are purchasing influence among law enforcement. Large donations were made to NYPD, including the recent donation from J.P. Morgan of $4.6 million, have no doubt exacerbated the already aggressive posture of NYPD towards the protesters.

  • Competing Visions of Angst Among Elite Lawyers
    RUSTAD.DOC 2/3/2006 9:30:44 AM REVIEW ESSAY: COMPETING VISIONS OF ANGST AMONG ELITE LAWYERS Michael L. Rustad* Thomas H. Koenig** This review essay contrasts the explanations provided in two re- cent books for the existential anxiety suffered by many lawyers in top national law firms. Jean Stefancic and Richard Delgado’s How Law- yers Lose Their Way: A Profession Fails Its Creative Minds, and Milton Regan’s Eat What You Kill: The Fall of a Wall Street Law- yer, provide provocative case studies of different aspects of schizoid alienation at the highest rungs of the legal profession. Stefancic and Delgado explore the complex relationship between elite attorney Archibald MacLeish and Imagist poet Ezra Pound to demonstrate that top lawyers have struggled for many decades with the conflict be- tween the demands of corporate law and the desire for self-fulfillment. Regan provides a riveting account of the downfall of John Gellene, a leading bankruptcy specialist in a top New York corporate law firm. While Stefancic and Delgado locate the core of the spiritual malaise among top corporate lawyers in the ideological cage resulting from the conceptual blinders of legal formalism, Regan takes a more eco- nomic-based perspective, portraying the hypercompetitive elite law firm as a soul destroying work environment.

THE EFFECTS OF EXTREME MEDIA ON POLITICAL BEHAVIOR, ATTITUDES, AND MEDIA SELECTION by JAMES BENJAMIN TAYLOR Under the Direction of Sean Richey ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of extreme media (i.e. political talk radio and cable news opinion shows) on the political attitudes of viewers and listeners. I investigate whether extreme media has both positive and negative externalities for democratic citizenship. Specif- ically, I use laboratory experiments, national survey data, and qualitative interviews to test the impact of extreme media on viewers' political knowledge, trust in government, efficacy, and political tolerance. I use laboratory experiments in controlled settings to uncover the impact of viewership on political knowledge, trust in government, and efficacy. I confirm these lab findings with the national survey data, by using propensity score matching and ordered probit models to demonstrate that exposure to extreme media produces political knowledge and efficacy, but decreases trust in government.

Introduction: Romney’s Dilemma Mitt Romney woke up on the morning of September 11, 2012, with big hopes for this day – that he’d stop the slow slide of his campaign for the presidency. The political conventions were in his rear-view mirror, and the Republican nominee for the White House was trailing President Obama in most major polls. In an ABC News/Washington Post poll released at the start of the week, the former Massachusetts governor’s previous 1-point lead had flipped to a 6-point deficit.1 “Mr. Obama almost certainly had the more successful convention than Mr. Romney,” wrote Nate Silver, the polling guru and then-New York Times blogger.2 While the incumbent’s gathering in Charlotte was marked by party unity and rousing testimonials from Obama’s wife, Michelle, and former President Bill Clinton, Romney’s confab in Tampa had fallen flat.

  • Chapter 4 -- the Cable News Wars: Another Approach to Popularizing Commercial News
    Chapter 4 -- The Cable News Wars: Another Approach to Popularizing Commercial News The recession that began in 2008 has spurred or accelerated very significant, perhaps crippling, economic troubles in most sectors of the news industry. According to the Pew Center‟s annual State of the News Media report, most major commercial news formats, including local television news broadcasts, network news divisions, news magazines, and especially daily newspapers, experienced declining revenues in 2008 and 2009.1 Media companies also made steep divestures in the newsroom budgets in these news formats. Many analysts suspect these retrenchments are not only the effects of the financial downturn generally; rather, the core business models that have supported commercial journalism appear to be faltering in a media environment undergoing fundamental transformation in the digital age. Yet, one kind of commercial news outlet that did not face declining revenues in the midst of recession: cable news stations. Cable news is a puzzling genre in many respects. It straddles a line between a “traditional” news format and something new. Given that much discussion about the future of news pivots on a distinction between traditional news models and new media emerging in a landscape reshaped by digital and social media, where does cable news fit? Is it a harbinger of things to come or a last gasp of an increasingly obsolete news model trying to find relevance? Like most of the traditional news outlets, the most popular cable news stations are all owned by major media conglomerates, rely on professional journalists for most of their newsgathering (if not their commentary), and, at least for now, the majority of their programming embraces some 1 Pew Project on Excellence in Journalism, The State of the News Media (Washington, D.C.: Project for Excellence in Journalism, 2009), http://www.stateofthemedia.org/2009/index.htm; Pew Project on Excellence in Journalism, The State of the News Media (Washington, D.C.: Project for Excellence in Journalism, 2010), http://www.stateofthemedia.org/2010/.

  • This Is a Rush Transcript from “On the Record ,” March 6, 2009
    This is a rush transcript from “On the Record ,” March 6, 2009. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: The brother of the alleged architect of the anti-Rush campaign is speaking out. To take you back, after talk show host Rush Limbaugh spoke at CPAC, GOP head Michael Steele called Rush an “entertainer,” and added that Rush’s remarks are “incendiary and ugly.” Rush quickly swung back, and Michael Steele quickly apologized. Then President Obama’s former campaign manager wrote an op-ed called “Minority leader Limbaugh.” And the DCCC launched a Web site called I’msorryRush.com, mocking Republicans who have insulted Rush and then immediately rushed to apologize to him. “Politico” says it is all part of a larger effort by big name Democrats like Paul Begala, James Carville, and even White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel to paint Rush Limbaugh as the face of the GOP. Now, Paul Begala’s brother Chris Begala, who is a media and political consultant and is a partner of Begala and McGrath is taking a stand. It’s nice to see you again, Chris. And, Chris, just to get things straight, are you the good Begala, or the bad Begala. CHRIS BEGALA, POLITICAL CONSULTANT: Well, you know, I am honored to be able to work with President Bush 41 and his office here in Houston. And many years ago he dubbed me “the good Begala.” So I wear that moniker proudly. VAN SUSTEREN: All right. I knew that.

  • Our Infantile Society,G. B. Shaw Was a Horse's Patootie
    Our Infantile Society While I acknowledge that there is a world of difference between conspiring to do something and merely considering it, when Ahmed Ghailani was found guilty of conspiring to blow up a government building, I bet there were millions of us who briefly flashed on those occasions when we thought about blowing up courthouses, city halls, DMV offices and the U.S. Senate. In the wake of the Ghailani debacle with a civilian jury, we were told that even a military tribunal wouldn’t have found him guilty on those 284 other charges because “enhanced interrogation” had been used on the main witness. Frankly, that seemed insane to me. No matter what was done to make the witness come clean, what does that have to do with Ghailani’s involvement in blowing up American embassies and murdering hundreds of innocent people? It is at such times that I find myself wondering if Sharia law could be any more ludicrous than the legal system we already have. Is it just me or does all the recent rioting seem even more embarrassing than usual? In England and the U.S., the most disgusting, most privileged generation the world has ever known seem to feel entitled to run wild any time the cost of college tuition is raised. What makes their childish hissy fits all the more reprehensible is that these punks rarely pay their own way. If anyone is going to riot, it should be their parents. But the targets of their outrage should be themselves for having raised these hordes of arrogant, obnoxious louts.
