Winneg & Kathleen Hall Jamieson Colbert Super PAC - 2 Stephen Colbert’s Civics Lesson: How Colbert Super PAC Taught Viewers about Campaign Finance Abstract This study tests whether exposure to The Colbert Report influenced knowledge of super PACs and 501(c)(4) groups, and ascertains how having such knowledge influenced viewers’ perceptions about the role of money in politics. Our analysis of a national random sample of adults interviewed after the 2012 presidential election found that viewing The Colbert Report both increased peoples’ perception of how knowledgeable they were about super PACs and 501(c)(4) groups and increased actual knowledge of campaign finance regulation regarding these independent expenditure groups. Findings suggest that the political satirist was more successful in informing his viewers about super PACs and 501(c)(4) groups than were other types of news media. Viewing The Colbert Report also indirectly influenced how useful his audience perceived money to be in politics. Colbert Super PAC - 3 Stephen Colbert’s Civics Lesson: How Colbert Super PAC Taught Viewers about Campaign Finance After faux-right-wing satirist Stephen Colbert signed control of his super PAC “Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow” over to his Comedy Central colleague and Daily Show host Jon Stewart and, in the process, renamed it “The Definitely Not Coordinating with Stephen Colbert Super PAC,” the comic announced his candidacy for “President of the United States of South Carolina.” Some scholars characterized these moments of Colbert’s direct engagement with post-Citizens United campaign finance laws as “commentary that is entertaining and ironic, yet also critically serious” (Jones, Baym, & Day, 2012, p.

  • Stephen Colbert's Super PAC and the Growing Role of Comedy in Our
    STEPHEN COLBERT’S SUPER PAC AND THE GROWING ROLE OF COMEDY IN OUR POLITICAL DISCOURSE BY MELISSA CHANG, SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS ADVISER: CHRIS EDELSON, PROFESSOR IN THE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS UNIVERSITY HONORS IN CLEG SPRING 2012 Dedicated to Professor Chris Edelson for his generous support and encouragement, and to Professor Lauren Feldman who inspired my capstone with her course on “Entertainment, Comedy, and Politics”. Thank you so, so much! 2 | C h a n g STEPHEN COLBERT’S SUPER PAC AND THE GROWING ROLE OF COMEDY IN OUR POLITICAL DISCOURSE Abstract: Comedy plays an increasingly legitimate role in the American political discourse as figures such as Stephen Colbert effectively use humor and satire to scrutinize politics and current events, and encourage the public to think more critically about how our government and leaders rule. In his response to the Supreme Court case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010) and the rise of Super PACs, Stephen Colbert has taken the lead in critiquing changes in campaign finance. This study analyzes segments from The Colbert Report and the Colbert Super PAC, identifying his message and tactics. This paper aims to demonstrate how Colbert pushes political satire to new heights by engaging in real life campaigns, thereby offering a legitimate voice in today’s political discourse. INTRODUCTION While political satire is not new, few have mastered this art like Stephen Colbert, whose originality and influence have catapulted him to the status of a pop culture icon. Never breaking character from his zany, blustering persona, Colbert has transformed the way Americans view politics by using comedy to draw attention to important issues of the day, critiquing and unpacking these issues in a digestible way for a wide audience.

  • The Impact of Organizational Characteristics on Super PAC
    The Impact of Organizational Characteristics on Super PAC Financing and Independent Expenditures Paul S. Herrnson University of Connecticut [email protected] Presented at the Meeting of the Campaign Finance Task Force, Bipartisan Policy Center, Washington, DC, April 21, 2017 (revised June 2017). 1 Exe cutive Summa ry Super PACs have grown in number, wealth, and influence since the Supreme Court laid the foundation for their formation in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, and the decisions reached by other courts and the FEC clarified the boundaries of their political participation. Their objectives and activities also have evolved. Super PACs are not nearly as monolithic as they have been portrayed by the media. While it is inaccurate to characterize them as representative of American society, it is important to recognize that they vary in wealth, mission, structure, affiliation, political perspective, financial transparency, and how and where they participate in political campaigns. Organizational characteristics influence super PAC financing, including the sums they raise. Organizational characteristics also affect super PAC independent expenditures, including the amounts spent, the elections in which they are made, the candidates targeted, and the tone of the messages delivered. The super PAC community is not static. It is likely to continue to evolve in response to legal challenges; regulatory decisions; the objectives of those who create, administer, and finance them; and changes in the broader political environment. 2 Contents I.

This paper will end by providing a few reforms that can create a better media environment and keep the public better informed. As it was important for journalism to improve from partisan media to objective reporting in the past, it is important today that journalism improves its practices to address the right-wing media’s attack on journalism and avoid too many false equivalencies.

  • Super Pacs and 501(C)(4) Nonprofits
    Super PACs and 501(c)(4) Nonprofits: How the Two Entities Can Work Together for Personal Enrichment On November 12, 2012, “The Colbert Report” host, Steven Colbert, informed viewers that his popular Super PAC, “Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow” (more commonly known as the “Colbert Super PAC”) would be dissolving.1 Because there remained in the Super PAC nearly $800,000,2 Colbert wanted to know if there existed a way in which he might keep the funds for himself in a personal capacity, while barring the public from such knowledge. Colbert invited his attorney, Trevor Potter, on the show, and Potter explained that there is a method by which the Super PAC money can be ultimately routed to Colbert without the public’s (or the IRS’s) knowledge.3 Because Colbert also solely founded and operates a 501(c)(4) organization, “Colbert Super PAC S.H.H. Institute,”4 he could essentially use this nonprofit organization as an intermediary vehicle to get the funds from his Super PAC to his own bank account – without any trace of the transaction.5 Afraid that corporate donors would shy away from donating to the “Colbert Super PAC” because of its public disclosure of donors, Colbert formed his 501(c)(4) “Colbert Super PAC S.H.H. Institute.”6 501(c)(4) nonprofits, unlike their 501(c)(3) counterparts, are allowed to engage in extensive political activity, including lobbying, participating in political campaigns and elections, and donating money to political groups. Although the practical purpose of this 1 Colbert Super PAC SHH! - Secret Second 501c4 - Trevor Potter, Colbert Nation, Nov.

  • The Musicless Music Video As a Spreadable Meme Video: Format, User Interaction, and Meaning on Youtube
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 3634–3654 1932–8036/20170005 The Musicless Music Video as a Spreadable Meme Video: Format, User Interaction, and Meaning on YouTube CANDE SÁNCHEZ-OLMOS1 University of Alicante, Spain EDUARDO VIÑUELA University of Oviedo, Spain The aim of this article is to analyze the musicless music video—that is, a user-generated parodic musicless of the official music video circulated in the context of online participatory culture. We understand musicless videos as spreadable content that resignifies the consumption of the music video genre, whose narrative is normally structured around music patterns. Based on the analysis of the 22 most viewed musicless videos (with more than 1 million views) on YouTube, we aim, first, to identify the formal features of this meme video format and the characteristics of the online channels that host these videos. Second, we study whether the musicless video generates more likes, dislikes, and comments than the official music video. Finally, we examine how the musicless video changes the multimedia relations of the official music video and gives way to new relations among music, image, and text to generate new meanings. Keywords: music video, music meme, YouTube, participatory culture, spreadable media, interaction For the purposes of this research, the musicless video is considered as a user-generated memetic video that alters and parodies an official music video and is spread across social networks. The musicless video modifies the original meaning of the official-version music video, a genre with one of the greatest impacts on the transformation of the audiovisual landscape in the past 10 years.
