  • Parsing Representative and Representational Democratic Discourse on US Political Blogs
    Bread or Circuses? Parsing Representative and Representational Democratic Discourse on U.S. Political Blogs by Milo Taylor Anderson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Information Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Milo Anderson 2014 Bread or Circuses? Parsing Representative and Representational Democratic Discourse on U.S. Political Blogs Milo Anderson Master of Information Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This thesis finds empirical support for Jodi Dean's theory of declining symbolic efficiency through a qualitative content analysis of discourse concerning the 2013 U.S. government shutdown on political blogs. Themes of this thesis explore reflexivity, decontextualization, and an erosion of meaning brought about by changing media technologies and practices. Humanistic analyses of media and politics by scholars such as Benkler (2006) and McChesney (1999) are contrasted with works by Gitlin (1980), Postman (1985), and Dean (2010), who see media systems operating outside human control. This study's methodology relies upon Knight and Johnson's (2011) pragmatic justification for democratic institutions. The analysis uses a system of categories to describe statements about political strategy along four dimensions: operant; method of action; operand; and the consequence of the strategy. This study identifies important distinctions between textual descriptions of nominal and instrumental strategy; it is argued that nominal discourse represents

The “Great Meme War:” the Alt-Right and its Multifarious Enemies 1 The “Great Meme War:” the Alt- Right and its Multifarious Enemies Maxime Dafaure Memes and the metapolitics of the alt-right 1 The alt-right has been a major actor of the online culture wars of the past few years. Since it came to prominence during the 2014 Gamergate controversy,1 this loosely- defined, puzzling movement has achieved mainstream recognition and has been the subject of discussion by journalists and scholars alike. Although the movement is notoriously difficult to define, a few overarching themes can be delineated: unequivocal rejections of immigration and multiculturalism among most, if not all, alt- right subgroups; an intense criticism of feminism, in particular within the manosphere community, which itself is divided into several clans with different goals and subcultures (men’s rights activists, Men Going Their Own Way, pick-up artists, incels).2 Demographically speaking, an overwhelming majority of alt-righters are white heterosexual males, one of the major social categories who feel dispossessed and resentful, as pointed out as early as in the mid-20th century by Daniel Bell, and more recently by Michael Kimmel (Angry White Men 2013) and Dick Howard (Les Ombres de l’Amérique 2017).

  • Im Schatten Des Trumpismus: Autoritärer Populismus in Der Regierung Und Die Neuformierung Der Radikalen Rechten in Den USA
    Im Schatten des Trumpismus: Autoritärer Populismus in der Regierung und die Neuformierung der radikalen Rechten in den USA Erweiterte Fassung1 Lars Rensmann Zusammenfassung: Der Artikel analysiert die Entwicklung der radikalen Rechten in den USA im Kontext der Präsidentschaft des autoritären Rechtspopulisten Donald J. Trump. In einer akteurszentrierten Perspektive, die indes die politische Nachfrageseite und gesell- schaftliche Bedingungen einbezieht, werden Transformations- und Interaktionsprozesse der radikalen und populistischen Rechten seit dem Aufstieg des Trumpismus rekonstruiert. Es zeigt sich erstens ein Prozess der Neuformierung der radikalen Rechten, die sich sowohl auf vorgelagerte Netzwerke und neue Bewegungen als auch eine lange schwelende illiberale, „autoritär-nationalistische Revolte“ stützt, welche durch den Trumpismus und Trumps Präsidentschaft politisch mobilisiert worden ist. Zu beobachten sind dabei eine spezifische Interaktionsdynamik und eine partielle Verschmelzung der radikalen und der neuen popu- listischen Rechten, wobei sich einige rechtsextreme Kräfte von Trump abgrenzen. Zweitens ist ein machtgestützter Prozess der Radikalisierung gegen das demokratische System der USA zu konstatieren, der im Kontext des regierenden Trumpismus auch signifikante Teile der Republikanischen Partei ergriffen hat. Drittens hat der Trumpsche autoritäre Regie- rungspopulismus Ausbreitungen, Mainstreaming und Legitimierungen rechtsradikaler Ak- teure, Ideologien, „alternativer Fakten“ und Verschwörungsmythen ermöglicht.

Washington, D.C. 20463 RE: Complaint 4 Complainant: Tuckerman Babcock, Chairman Alaska Republican Party 1 Respondents: Joe Miller, Citizens for Joe Miller, Inc. and Restoring Liberty, LLC 4 2 Dear Office of General Counsel: The purpose of this letter is to file a formal complaint against Joe Miller, the Libertarian Party of Alaska candidate for United States Senate, as well as his campaign committee. Citizens for Joe Miller, Inc., and Restoring Liberty, LLC, a limited liability company owned and controlled by Mr. Miller. The above individual and entities ("Respondents") have committed numerous serious violations of the Federal Election Commission Act and regulations. In general, these violations appear specifically intended to mislead the public in the following ways: 1) conceal from the public his campaign's acceptance of unlawful corporate contributions; 2) concoct and report false "in-kind" contributions that don't actually exist creating a false impression of the sources and level of support for his candidacy; and 3) concealing and omitting many thousands of dollars in expenditures occurring in the third quarter for the purpose of creating the false impression that Miller's campaign has more resources available to it than, in reality, it does. Additionally, Miller's campaign has repeatedly negligently failed to include required disclaimers on communications and materials. As established by the documents and evidence filed herewith—including Miller's own Third Quarter FEC report—^the Respondents have: • Made illegal corporate contributions to the Miller Campaign.

(Terry) Dolan Chairman Dear concerned American: Have you ever considered television to be a threat to our free way of life? Well, the misuse of television by the liberals who control our news media makes it a real danger. This menace appears innocent enough sitting in your home, but -~1evJ:sJ::orc is- ·t:ne -weapon ~IJEi1·1g-rrseU---tIT~c:Yn~y----ehe rrressa:g~~of--=t-he1se who oppose the basic liberties we Americans cherish. There is heavy liberal bias in all media, but in TV, it is presenT even in programs considered to be entertainment. While this great disturbs me, my major worry is the gross distortion of news and public information on television. Considering that nearly all Americans get their news from TV, the power of the liberals who control TV is even more frightening. If TV offered people all sides of vital public issues, it could be a great source of education for our people. doesn't. Instead, it oombards us with liberal propaganda designed to brainwash the minds of unsuspecting adults and children seeking to learn more about our world.

  • The Long Design Washington Post 12/4
    Red Ink REVIEW JUST 27 CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS ACKNOWLEDGE BIDEN’S WIN, WASHINGTON POST SURVEY FINDS PAUL KANE AND SCOTT CLEMENT, THE WASHINGTON POST Just 27 congressional Republicans acknowledge Joe Biden’s win over President Trump a month after the former vice president’s clear victory of more than 7 million votes nationally and a convincing electoral-vote margin that exactly matched Trump’s 2016 tally. MISLEADING TITLE Only 27 Congressional Two Republicans consider Trump the winner despite all evidence showing otherwise. Republicans directly And another 220 GOP members of the House and Senate — about 88 percent of all responded to a Washington Republicans serving in Congress — will simply not say who won the election. Post inquiry concerning Biden's win. Those are the findings of a Washington Post survey of all 249 Republicans in the House and Senate that began the morning after Trump posted a 46-minute video Wednesday evening in which he wrongly claimed he had defeated Biden and leveled wild and unsubstantiated allegations of “corrupt forces” who stole the outcome from the sitting president. SHAKY STATISTICS Implies, without evidence, that Congress members who did not respond to this survey don’t acknowledge Biden’s win A team of 25 Post reporters contacted aides for every Republican by email and phone asking three basic questions — who won the presidential contest, do you support or oppose Trump’s continuing efforts to claim victory and if Biden wins a majority in the electoral college, will you accept him as the legitimately elected president — and also researched public statements made by the GOP lawmakers in recent weeks to determine their stance on Biden’s win.

    Charlie Cook Editor and Publisher of The Cook Political Report Political Analyst for the National Journal Group December 13, 2004 This was a fascinating election. It was a good solid and decisive win for President Bush and the Republican Party. This was the best-planned, designed, and executed Presidential campaign in American history. This was an important election, but it was hardly a transformational or realigning election, which is when a decisive win at the top is also decisive at every level beneath it. This election, while a big and a decisive win, doesn’t really meet those characterizations. One final point: Second-term, mid-term elections are really ugly for the party holding the White House. History tells us that in four out of the five of these elections since the end of World War II, bad things have happened to the party holding the White House. Typically they goosed the economy up during the election year, so there has been a little bit of a sag afterwards. They tend to lose energy, lose focus, run out of gas, run out of new ideas, get arrogant, scandals start hitting. But four out of five is a pretty high correlation. Vernon Jordan Ladies and gentlemen, welcome again to the Economic Club. We are delighted that you could be with us this afternoon. Today’s speaker is a man who, frankly, needs little introduction to a politically attuned Washington audience. Charlie Cook is Editor and Publisher of The Cook Political Report and a political analyst for the National Journal 2 Group.
