  • The Rise and Impact of Fact-Checking in U.S. Campaigns by Amanda Wintersieck a Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment O
    The Rise and Impact of Fact-Checking in U.S. Campaigns by Amanda Wintersieck A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Kim Fridkin, Chair Mark Ramirez Patrick Kenney ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2015 ABSTRACT Do fact-checks influence individuals' attitudes and evaluations of political candidates and campaign messages? This dissertation examines the influence of fact- checks on citizens' evaluations of political candidates. Using an original content analysis, I determine who conducts fact-checks of candidates for political office, who is being fact- checked, and how fact-checkers rate political candidates' level of truthfulness. Additionally, I employ three experiments to evaluate the impact of fact-checks source and message cues on voters' evaluations of candidates for political office. i DEDICATION To My Husband, Aza ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to express my sincerest thanks to the many individuals who helped me with this dissertation and throughout my graduate career. First, I would like to thank all the members of my committee, Professors Kim L. Fridkin, Patrick Kenney, and Mark D. Ramirez. I am especially grateful to my mentor and committee chair, Dr. Kim L. Fridkin. Your help and encouragement were invaluable during every stage of this dissertation and my graduate career. I would also like to thank my other committee members and mentors, Patrick Kenney and Mark D. Ramirez. Your academic and professional advice has significantly improved my abilities as a scholar. I am grateful to husband, Aza, for his tireless support and love throughout this project.

    The West Wing Weekly 6.21: “Things Fall Apart” Guest: Jennifer Palmieri [Intro Music] HRISHI: You’re listening to the West Wing Weekly. I’m Hrishikesh Hirway. JOSH: And I’m Joshua Malina. HRISHI: Today we’re talking about episode 21 from season 6, it’s called “Things Fall Apart.” JOSH: This episode was written by Peter Noah and directed by Nelson McCormick. It first aired on March 30th 2005. HRISHI: I don’t believe we’ve heard the name Nelson McCormick before. Is that someone whose directed The West Wing before? JOSH: No, I think not. This is his first of what will turn out to be two episodes of The West Wing. He also directed an episode called “Transition.” Which we’ll get to. Oh we’ll get to it. HRISHI: Joining us later on this episode Jennifer Palmieri, Communications Director for the Hillary Clinton campaign and formerly for the Obama White House. JOSH: What do you think of this one? HRISHI: I, I like the plot of this episode. I think it’s interesting what happens with the convention and the nomination process, but the execution of it, I have issues with here and there. Really just a few moments here and there in the writing. JOSH: I think we will find ourselves in accord as I wrote down ‘Great bones, not enough meat’ HRISHI: Hey look at that. Yeah. That’s a good way of putting it. And before we jump into our discussion, here’s a synopsis from Warner Brothers. “The success of the impeccably organized Republican convention contrasts with the Democrats who look in disarray as the candidates continue to battle to be the Democratic Party Presidential nominee.

  • The Republican Sweep: Report on the 2010 Election Results in Ohio
    Mapping the Republican Sweep: The 2010 Election Results in Ohio This report maps the results of the 2010 election for state-wide offices in Ohio as well as voter turnout. The data for this report was taken from the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office and indicate official results. Clearly, the 2010 election saw a sea change in Ohio politics, and dramatic contrast with the 2006 election: 2010 was a Republican sweep, while 2006 saw a near Democratic sweep of state-wide contests. The Overall Election Picture in Ohio In 2010, prior to the November election, all state-wide offices up for election were in the hands of Democrats, except for the open Senate seat and the state auditor. These offices included the governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and state treasurer. Republican challengers were able to defeat every one of these Democratic incumbents and to also hold the Senate seat. Some of the Republican victories were narrow, but some were fairly resounding. With a poorly performing state economy and with a strong sense of anti-incumbent anger brewing in the state, Democrats saw their fortunes turn negative across the board. Map 1 is a depiction of the distribution of Republican votes for the average of all of the state-wide races in Ohio in 2010. Map 1 There are several geographic patterns in Map 1. First, we see that there is an urban-rural split in the distribution of Republican votes. For the most part, counties with large cities in them such as Cuyahoga (Cleveland), Franklin (Columbus), Lucas (Toledo), and Summit (Akron) leaned Democratic while more rural counties leaned Republican.
