Analysis of Talk Shows Between Obama and Trump Administrations by Jack Norcross — 69
Analysis of Talk Shows Between Obama and Trump Administrations by Jack Norcross — 69 An Analysis of the Political Affiliations and Professions of Sunday Talk Show Guests Between the Obama and Trump Administrations Jack Norcross Journalism Elon University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in an undergraduate senior capstone course in communications Abstract The Sunday morning talk shows have long been a platform for high-quality journalism and analysis of the week’s top political headlines. This research will compare guests between the first two years of Barack Obama’s presidency and the first two years of Donald Trump’s presidency. A quantitative content analysis of television transcripts was used to identify changes in both the political affiliations and profession of the guests who appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” CBS’s “Face the Nation,” ABC’s “This Week” and “Fox News Sunday” between the two administrations. Findings indicated that the dominant political viewpoint of guests differed by show during the Obama administration, while all shows hosted more Republicans than Democrats during the Trump administration. Furthermore, U.S. Senators and TV/Radio journalists were cumulatively the most frequent guests on the programs. I. Introduction Sunday morning political talk shows have been around since 1947, when NBC’s “Meet the Press” brought on politicians and newsmakers to be questioned by members of the press. The show’s format would evolve over the next 70 years, and give rise to fellow Sunday morning competitors including ABC’s “This Week,” CBS’s “Face the Nation” and “Fox News Sunday.” Since the mid-twentieth century, the overall media landscape significantly changed with the rise of cable news, social media and the consumption of online content. -

OPEN LETTER to REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE CHAIR REINCE PRIEBUS Where Does the GOP Stand on Gay Bashing?
OPEN LETTER TO REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE CHAIR REINCE PRIEBUS Where Does the GOP Stand on Gay Bashing? Dear Mr. Priebus, Fifteen years ago, your predecessor called for party members to shun the Council of Conservative Citizens because of the group’s “racist views.”1 “A member of the party of Lincoln should not belong to such an organization,” GOP Chairman Jim Nicholson said.2 His comments had their intended effect: Senior members of Congress distanced themselves from the group. Today, Chairman Priebus, we ask that you take a similar stand and call upon Republican officials to disassociate themselves from the groups behind the upcoming Values Voter Summit. The reason is simple: These groups engage in repeated, groundless demonization of LGBT people — portraying them as sick, vile, incestuous, violent, perverted, and a danger to the nation. The Family Research Council, the summit’s host, is vigorously opposed to extending equal rights to the LGBT community. Its president, Tony Perkins, has repeatedly claimed that pedophilia is a “homosexual problem.”3 He has called the “It Gets Better” campaign — designed to give LGBT students hope for a better tomorrow — “disgusting” and a “concerted effort” to “recruit” children into the gay “lifestyle.” 4 He has condemned the National Republican Congressional Committee for supporting three openly gay candidates.5 Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association, a summit sponsor, has said the U.S. needs to “be more like Russia,” which enacted a law criminalizing the distribution of LGBT “propaganda.”6 He also has said, “Homosexuality gave us Adolph Hitler, and homosexuals in the military gave us the Brown Shirts, the Nazi war machine, and six million dead Jews.”7 Similarly, Mat Staver of the Liberty Counsel, another summit sponsor, has compared those who do not denounce same-sex marriage to those who remained silent during the Holocaust. -

Le Values Voter Summit : L’Art De Mobiliser À Droite
1 Le Values Voter Summit : L’art de mobiliser à droite Par Véronique Pronovost1 Doctorante en science politique, UQAM Chercheure en résidence, Chaire Raoul-Dandurand En attendant l’ouverture officielle du Sommet, dans la salle principale où se sont déroulés les ateliers et les plénières. Crédit photo : Véronique Pronovost. Du 12 au 15 octobre dernier a eu lieu la douzième édition du Values Voter Summit2 au sein de l’un des hôtels les plus prestigieux de la capitale américaine3. Cet évènement, réunissant quelques centaines de conservateurs sociaux4, est considéré par plusieurs observateurs de la politique américaine comme étant le rassemblement conservateur annuel le plus important aux États-Unis. Officiellement, le Sommet représente une plate- forme de concertation incontournable permettant aux divers acteurs de se rencontrer et de 1 L’auteure a participé au Values Voter Summit grâce à la contribution financière de plusieurs organisations : le Syndicat des professionnelles et des professionnels du gouvernement du Québec, la députée fédérale d’Hochelaga Marjolaine Boutin-Sweet, la députée provinciale d’Hochelaga-Maisonneuve Carole Poirier, la Chaire Raoul-Dandurand ainsi que grâce à deux dons individuels. 2 Ci-après nommé le « Sommet ». 3 Le Omni Shoreham est l’hôtel où la très grande majorité des présidents américains du XXe siècle ont tenu leur bal d’inauguration. 4 Steve Bannon a toutefois affirmé que plus de 800 000 personnes assistaient au Sommet virtuellement via le site internet de son organe de presse Breitbart News.

CPAC: the Origins and Role of the Conference in the Expansion and Consolidation of the Conservative Movement, 1974-1980

CPAC: The Origins and Role of The Conference in the Expansion and Consolidation of the Conservative Movement, 1974-1980 Abstract The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is an annual event that brings conservative politicians, public intellectuals, pundits, and issue activists together in Washington, DC to discuss strategies for achieving their goals through the electoral and policy process. Although CPAC receives a great deal of attention each year from conservative movement activists and the news outlets that cover it, it has attracted less attention from scholars. This dissertation seeks to address the gap in existing knowledge by providing a fresh account of the role that CPAC played in the expansion and consolidation of the conservative movement during the 1970s. Audio recordings of the exchanges that took place at CPAC meetings held between 1974 and 1980 are transcribed and analyzed. The results of this analysis show that during the 1970s, CPAC served as an important forum where previously fragmented single issue groups and leaders of the Old Right and New Right coalitions were able to meet, share ideas, and coordinate their efforts. -

Trump Administration Continued to Advance Discriminatory Policies and Practices Against LGBT People and People Living with HIV in 2018
Trump Administration continued to advance discriminatory policies and practices against LGBT people and people living with HIV in 2018 By Sean Cahill, Tim Wang and Bishar Jenkins PB 1 2 3 In 2018 the Trump Administration restricted the right of transgender people to serve in the military, and the right of people living with HIV to serve in the Peace Corps. INTRODUCTION In 2018 the Trump Administration continued to advance discriminatory policies that under- mine the ability of LGBT people to access health care and other services. It also restrict- ed the right of transgender people to serve in the military, and the right of people living with HIV to serve in the Peace Corps. The Trump Administration promoted religion-based discrimination against LGBT people, eliminated critical nondiscrimination protections, and appointed federal judges who oppose LGBT equality. The administration’s frequent affilia- tions with anti-LGBT advocacy organizations, such as Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council, clearly display hostility toward LGBT equality. Despite this bleak picture, there were some potentially hopeful developments, such as the Food and Drug Administration’s regulation of e-cigarettes, which LGBT people use at a dis- proportionate rate, and indications that the federal government will develop a new national HIV/AIDS strategy to take effect in 2020, and reconvene the President’s Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS. During its first year in office, as we documented in a January 2018 report,1 the Trump Administration compiled a strikingly anti-LGBT record of executive branch actions that undermined the health and well-being of LGBT people. -
English Folk Traditions and Changing Perceptions About Black People in England

Trish Bater 080207052 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the custom of white people blacking their faces and its continuation at a time when society is increasingly aware of accusations of racism. To provide a context, an overview of the long history of black people in England is offered, and issues about black stereotypes, including how ‘blackness’ has been perceived and represented, are considered. The historical use of blackface in England in various situations, including entertainment, social disorder, and tradition, is described in some detail. It is found that nowadays the practice has largely been rejected, but continues in folk activities, notably in some dance styles and in the performance of traditional (folk) drama. Research conducted through participant observation, interview, case study, and examination of web-based resources, drawing on my long familiarity with the folk world, found that participants overwhelmingly believe that blackface is a part of the tradition they are following and is connected to its past use as a disguise. However, although all are aware of the sensitivity of the subject, some performers are fiercely defensive of blackface, while others now question its application and amend their ‘disguise’ in different ways.
