CQR Trust in Journalism Published by CQ Press, an Imprint of SAGE Publications, Inc. www.cqresearcher.com Trust in Media Can news outlets regain the public’s confidence? ournalism is facing a credibility crisis. Declining faith in government and other institutions and a decades-long assault by conservatives have hurt mainstream news J outlets. And President Trump has called journalists “the enemy of the American people.” Recent incidents involv - ing public figures, including a Montana congressional candidate’s alleged assault on a reporter, have underscored the hostility that journalists face. Some traditional media also have suffered from self-inflicted wounds by blurring the lines between news and commentary and ignoring the interests of rural readers to focus Supporters of then-presidential candidate Donald on well-off urbanites. Ad revenue and subscriptions at newspapers Trump protest alleged bias by CNN at the cable network’s offices in Hollywood, Calif., on Oct. 22, have plummeted, in part due to the rise of the internet and 2016. As president, Trump frequently criticizes the media. “If the media’s job is to . tell the truth, the media deserves a very, very big fat failing grade,” changing consumer habits. Meanwhile, social media have fostered he said at a rally marking his 100th day in office. “echo c hambers” in which people seek out news that affirms their beliefs.

  • A Few Problems I Have with Cable TV Political Reporting During the 2020 Presidential Election Season (Actually, Many Problems Would Be Truthful)
    A Few Problems I Have With Cable TV Political Reporting During The 2020 Presidential Election Season (Actually, Many Problems Would Be Truthful) (Author’s Note: This is the second in a series of occasional political columns that I’ll be writing for CommPRO.biz until Inauguration Day, January 20. Previously, I wrote 17 political columns leading up to Election Day. FYI – My first public relations job was with a political firm, where I worked on local, statewide and presidential campaigns. In this column, I opine why cable news political coverage is below par. The cut- off date for this article was to be the day of President Trump’s first presser after his election defeat, which was the day this was written, November 13,) Arthur Solomon Do cable news reporters mislead viewers because they don’t know the facts of what they are reporting? Or are they instructed to limit facts of a story by their producers to keep viewers’ interested and lure them back as a soap opera does for more? Or is it that the reporters and producers only read the first few paragraphs of the New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal for their stories,(in lieu of original reporting), which provides enough factual information for the usual headline type cable news report? In any event, what they report is too often incomplete or inaccurate, or even worse, simply pundits’ conjecturing as they attempt to show the audience how smart they are, when history shows – remember how their 2106 and 2020 Democratic wave elections turned out – the great majority of their gibberish is as accurate as Trump’s claim that the election was stolen from him.

  • U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress
    U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs Michael Moodie Assistant Director and Senior Specialist in Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Updated February 24, 2020 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44891 U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The U.S. role in the world refers to the overall character, purpose, or direction of U.S. participation in international affairs and the country’s overall relationship to the rest of the world. The U.S. role in the world can be viewed as establishing the overall context or framework for U.S. policymakers for developing, implementing, and measuring the success of U.S. policies and actions on specific international issues, and for foreign countries or other observers for interpreting and understanding U.S. actions on the world stage. While descriptions of the U.S. role in the world since the end of World War II vary in their specifics, it can be described in general terms as consisting of four key elements: global leadership; defense and promotion of the liberal international order; defense and promotion of freedom, democracy, and human rights; and prevention of the emergence of regional hegemons in Eurasia. The issue for Congress is whether the U.S. role in the world is changing, and if so, what implications this might have for the United States and the world. A change in the U.S. role could have significant and even profound effects on U.S. security, freedom, and prosperity. It could significantly affect U.S.

  • QUARTERLY JOURNAL of ECONOMICS Vol
    THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS Vol. CXX November 2005 Issue 4 Downloaded from A MEASURE OF MEDIA BIAS* TIM GROSECLOSE AND JEFFREY MILYO We measure media bias by estimating ideological scores for several major http://qje.oxfordjournals.org/ media outlets. To compute this, we count the times that a particular media outlet cites various think tanks and policy groups, and then compare this with the times that members of Congress cite the same groups. Our results show a strong liberal bias: all of the news outlets we examine, except Fox News’ Special Report and the Washington Times, received scores to the left of the average member of Congress. Consistent with claims made by conservative critics, CBS Evening News and the New York Times received scores far to the left of center. The most centrist media outlets were PBS NewsHour, CNN’s Newsnight, and ABC’s Good Morning Amer- ica; among print outlets, USA Today was closest to the center. All of our findings at University of Rochester on October 23, 2014 refer strictly to news content; that is, we exclude editorials, letters, and the like. “The editors in Los Angeles killed the story. They told Witcover that it didn’t ‘come off’ and that it was an ‘opinion’ story....Thesolution was simple, they told him. All he had to do was get other people to make the same points and draw the same conclusions and then write the article in their words” (empha- sis in original).

  • OP Ed: Another Victim of the Coronavirus: TRUTH (And a Not-To-Forget Lesson for People in Our Business)
    OP Ed: Another Victim Of The Coronavirus: TRUTH (And a Not-To-Forget Lesson For People In Our Business) Arthur Solomon, Public Relations Consultant The deadly coronavirus hates people. It has separated people from their families. It has separated people from their friends. It has caused massive unemployment. It frightens people. It is also responsible for an increase in hate messages on social media, targeting all minority populations, ranging from African-Americans, to Asian-Americans to religious Americans who practice Orthodox Judaism and to Jews who don’t. It has destroyed our way of living. The virus makes people very ill. Worst of all it kills people. But there is also a victim that was only made possible with the assistance of humans – TRUTH. President Trump’s revisionist remarks about the coronavirus, which is happening as I write this, on April 26, continues. The result: For many Americans is there is no TRUTH. And politics and the media have played a large part in aiding the virus to put TRUTH on life support. While TRUTH had been ill since January, it took a sudden turn for the worse in the U.S. on February 28, during a rally in South Carolina, when President Trump described the virus as a Democratic “hoax.” Other presidential remarks like saying, anyone who wants a test can get one; there are plenty of PPE supplies; doctors and nurses are hording them; we have the situation under control; his hawking of medicines for people infected with the disease as if he was a medical scientist, and his contradictory remarks about blaming the coronavirus on China, to name a few of the president’s comments, all added to put TRUTH in a grave condition.

  • Chosen Nation: Christianity, Politics, and American Destiny" Dr
    TRANSCRIPT "Chosen Nation: Christianity, Politics, and American Destiny" Dr. Catherine Brekus Harvard Divinity School May 2017 MICHAEL CROMARTIE: Now let me just say, I will introduce our speaker. You've read her entire bio. I will not then read it back to you, simply to say that Professor Brekus, you may not know, was named the Harvard Divinity School Outstanding Teacher of the Year in 2014 and '15. She did her Ph.D. at Yale. Her undergrad was at Harvard, and on this topic some of you have never been here before. What we do is four months out, I meet with E.J. and Will and Karen and Andy Ferguson and others. We have a discussion about what should we be talking about at the next Faith Angle at the intersection of religion and public life, and I believe it was Will who said we really need to talk about religion and nationalism. One of our speakers at last Faith Angle, Grant Wacker, said the best person on this subject is our speaker today, and not only is she good on it, but she's writing a new book on it called Chosen Nation: Christianity and Politics in American Destiny. So when will your book be out? CATHERINE BREKUS: This is a wonderful opportunity for me, because I am going on sabbatical next year to work on this book. I have taught two courses about this and have written a little bit, but there is no publication date. MICHAEL CROMARTIE: But this is the trial run? CATHERINE BREKUS: This is a trial run.
