    #1396 The Pla-orms of Our Discontent (Social Media, Social Destruc?on) JAY TOMLINSON - HOST, BEST OF THE LEFT: [00:00:00] Welcome to this episode of the award-winning Best of the Le; Podcast in which we shall learn about the role that social media plays in the radicalizaAon of discontented communiAes, and engage in the debate over content moderaAon and de-plaDorming of individuals. Clips today are from The Weeds, Newsbroke from AJ Plus, On the Media, Off-Kilter, a piece of a speech from Sasha Baron Cohen, Big Tech, Vox ConversaAons, the Medhi Hasan Show, and Your Undivided AVenAon. Why everyone hates Big Tech, with The Verge's Nilay Patel - The Weeds - Air Date 7-19-19 NILAY PATEL: [00:00:34] I think one thing everyone will agree on, just universally, is that these companies are not necessarily well-run. And even if they were perfectly run, the nature of wriAng and enforcing speech regulaAon is such that you're sAll gonna do a bad job. The United States has been trying to develop a free speech policy in our courts for 220+ years and we're preVy bad at it, but four guys at Facebook aren't going to do a good job up in 20 years. So there's that problem, where does the line cross from being a preVy funny joke to being overtly bigoted? It really depends on context. We all understand this. So it absolutely depends on the context. It depends on who you think you are speaking to, whether it's a group of your friends or whether suddenly TwiVer's algorithm grabs you and amplifies you to millions of people.

  • Misrepresentations of Muslims in the Media the Role of Fox and Friends in the Construction of Fear
    Misrepresentations of Muslims in the Media The Role of Fox and Friends in the Construction of Fear 1st Semester Project Report Group members: Wiktoria Jablonska, Dina Aryani Sanjoto Pedersen, Kübra Bahadir, Maiken Kuld Nielsen Supervisor: Kimberly Renée Chopin Number of characters: 144798 Abstract Despite what statistics show on domestic terrorism in the United States of America, news outlets still have a tendency to misrepresent Muslims and the religion of Islam. The 2017 New York City truck attack was promptly announced an act of terrorism by the news media, while the cause of the 2017 Sutherland Springs church shooting was attributed to the mental health of the perpetrator. However, the common denominator for both cases is that they, by some definitions, conform to the characteristics of terrorist acts. This project is comprised of a critical discourse analysis of the Fox and Friends news/talk programme’s coverage of the aforementioned cases of terrorism, where the key differentiator is the religious and ethnic background of the perpetrators. This project aims to examine the discursive practices that revolve around the cases, and how the discourse changes accordingly. In extension to this, the study looks to determine, through the use of the theory of moral panic, if the changes in the coverage play a role in the negative perception of Muslims. More specifically, this project looks at how the conservative news media, Fox News, changes their discourse according to the case in question, and how this might aid in the construction of moral panic. On the basis of these measures, the project concludes that Fox News changes its discourse depending on the ethnicity and/or religious background of a perpetrator, resulting in the misrepresentation of Muslims.
