STILL A ROCK PARTY In the 2000 film The Contender, Senator Lane Hanson, por- trayed by Joan Allen, explains what catalyzed her switch from the Grand Old Party ("GOP") to the Democratic side of the aisle. During her dramatic Senate confirmation hearing for vice-presi- dent, she laments that "The Republican Party had shifted from the ideals I cherished in my youth." She lists those cherished ideals as "a woman's right to choose, taking guns out of every home, campaign finance reform, and the separation of church and state." Although this statement reflects Hollywood's usual penchant for oversimplification, her point con- cerning the recession of moderation in Republican ranks is still ap- ropos.

    © Copyright 2020 Yunkang Yang The Political Logic of the Radical Right Media Sphere in the United States Yunkang Yang A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: W. Lance Bennett, Chair Matthew J. Powers Kirsten A. Foot Adrienne Russell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Communication University of Washington Abstract The Political Logic of the Radical Right Media Sphere in the United States Yunkang Yang Chair of the Supervisory Committee: W. Lance Bennett Department of Communication Democracy in America is threatened by an increased level of false information circulating through online media networks. Previous research has found that radical right media such as Fox News and Breitbart are the principal incubators and distributors of online disinformation. In this dissertation, I draw attention to their political mobilizing logic and propose a new theoretical framework to analyze major radical right media in the U.S. Contrasted with the old partisan media literature that regarded radical right media as partisan news organizations, I argue that media outlets such as Fox News and Breitbart are better understood as hybrid network organizations. This means that many radical right media can function as partisan journalism producers, disinformation distributors, and in many cases political organizations at the same time. They not only provide partisan news reporting but also engage in a variety of political activities such as spreading disinformation, conducting opposition research, contacting voters, and campaigning and fundraising for politicians. In addition, many radical right media are also capable of forming emerging political organization networks that can mobilize resources, coordinate actions, and pursue tangible political goals at strategic moments in response to the changing political environment.

  • Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1964 Principal File, which was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office, is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of a little over twenty-three boxes of material, and it is arranged alphabetically by subject. This subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, memoranda, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, messages, and gifts. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, agendas, articles, memoranda, transcripts of interviews, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has a little over thirty-four boxes, is arranged alphabetically by names of individuals and organizations. It is primarily a correspondence file, but it also contains printed materials, speeches, cross-reference sheets, interview transcripts, statements, clippings, and photographs. During 1964 Eisenhower was receiving correspondence from the public at the rate of over fifty thousand letters a year. This placed considerable strain on Eisenhower and his small office staff, and many requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages met with a negative response. Although the great bulk of the correspondence in this series involves routine matters, there are considerable letters and memoranda which deal with national and international issues, events, and personalities. Some of the subjects discussed in Eisenhower’s correspondence include the 1964 presidential race, NATO, the U.S. space program, the U. S. economy, presidential inability and succession, defense policies, civil rights legislation, political extremists, and Cuba.

  • Polarization and Party Politics: the Decline of Representation in an Advanced Democratic Society"
    "Polarization and Party Politics: The Decline of Representation in an Advanced Democratic Society" Professor William Crotty Thomas P. O’Neill Chair in Public Life Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts Prepared for delivery at the 63rd Political Studies Association Annual International Conference: The Party's Over? Cardiff, United Kingdom 25 March, 2013 - 27 March, 2013 1 Polarization and Party Politics: The Decline of Representation in an Advanced Democratic Society William Crotty I. Introduction Polarization is a broad phenomenon, one that has impacted the politics and policymaking of the United States. This paper brings together some of the more significant research analyses on the roots, evolution and impact of polarization in one of the world’s most advanced democratic societies. The argument is that it is based on an increasingly wide divergence in class wealth; a fundamental division, and one increasingly being magnified, that distorts the nature of democratic representation in a polity, transiting to a new and discriminatory social order based on a “haves” (a small, concentrated economic elite, amounting to 1 percent to 10 percent of the population) – “have-not” split that reframes the essence of the democratic experience. The presentations focuses are: a. the force and consequences of inequality and its relationship to political representation; and b. the role of political parties as codifiers and maximizers of a polarized politics and its policy agenda. II. Inequality and Polarization The roots of polarization can be found in an imbalance in wealth that has grown enormously in recent times, to the point that it has come to dominate politics and dictate programmatic agendas.

    Conversation with James Leach – March 17, 2009 Harry Kreisler: Welcome to a “Conversation With History.” I’m Harry Kreisler of the Institute of International Studies. Our guest today is James A. Leach who served thirty years as a representative in Congress where he chaired the Banking and Financial Services Committee. He is currently the John L. Weinberg visiting professor at the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University. In 2009, he is the first Robert T. Matsui professor at the Institute of Governmental Studies at U.C. Berkeley. Congressman Leach, welcome to Berkeley. James Leach: Well, honored to be with you, Harry. HK: Where were you born and raised? JL: Born and raised in Davenport, Iowa, which is on the Mississippi River, kind of a little north of where one thinks of Mark Twain country. HK: And looking back, how do you think your parents shaped your thinking about the world? JL: Profoundly. I think that’s an aspect of most of our lives. I had very well educated, thoughtful parents. My father was a lawyer who didn’t practice law for very long and he was a very shy man, very academic. The law was a little too confrontational for him but he got tied up in the greatest confrontation in human history, World War II, waded ashore at Omaha Beach and walked to the Rhine. And he instilled a lot in me. My mother was a brilliant lady and she had an avocation of contract bridge where she played all around the world, and we had a warm, secure upbringing.

    LIFE OF THE PARTY: UNIONS AND THE MAKING OF THE MODERATE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN NASSAU COUNTY, NEW YORK By LILLIAN DUDKIEWICZ-CLAYMAN A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of Dorothy Sue Cobble And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey JANUARY, 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Life of the Party: Unions and the Making of the Moderate Republican Party in Nassau County, New York By LILLIAN DUDKIEWICZ-CLAYMAN Dissertation Director: Dorothy Sue Cobble Since county incorporation in 1899, the Nassau County Republican Party has identified with the moderate wing of the party. A key component of its moderate views lies in its support of workers and organized labor. This dissertation describes the evolution of the partnership between organized labor and the Nassau Republican Party and shows how organized labor contributed to the emergence of a strong political Republican machine. Support for organized labor became necessary to the survival and success of the Nassau County Republicans. At the same time, I argue, organized labor thrived in Nassau County in part because of its partnership with moderate Republicans. This mutually beneficial interaction continued into the twenty-first century, maintaining the Nassau County Republican Party as moderates even as the national GOP has moved to the extreme right. Historians and scholars have studied the history of the Nassau County Republican Party and its rise as a powerful political machine.

  • How the Media Explained Bernie Sanders's Loss in the 2016
    Sanders’s Horse Race: How the media explained Bernie Sanders’s loss in the 2016 Democratic primaries Maarten Berkelaar Words: 24764 Supervisor: Dr. E.F. van de Bilt Second reader: Dr. M.L. de Vries Abstract This thesis analyzes how The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal explained the loss of Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primaries. This thesis argues that conservative and liberal media focus on different explanations for Sanders’s loss and that through the style of media reporting several important factors in the Bernie Sanders’s primary defeat, such as the influence of the invisible primary, were not sufficiently explored. Through the media’s “horse race” reporting style, which solely focuses on which candidate is ahead and which candidate is lagging behind, no attention was payed to what happened before the actual primaries and caucuses began. This thesis states, first, that there were nog significant differences in how the analyzed newspapers explained Sanders’s loss, second, that the invisible primary was overlooked by the three analyzed media outlets and, third, that the invisible primary played a key role in Sanders’s loss. 2 Table of Contents Introduction ................................................................................................................................... 4 Chapter 1: Sanders’s Primary Race and Media reporting ............................................................ 14 1.1 Media Framing of the Primaries .....................................................................................................
