  • Monolithic Authenticity and Fake News Stephen Colbert’S Megalomania
    Monolithic Authenticity and Fake News Stephen Colbert’s Megalomania SETH HULSE DESIRING AUTHENTICITY Authenticity is an idea that lurks behind every claim in every news story, as it is ascribed to medial narratives by sender, receiver, and the dissemination medium itself. Journalists caress authenticity by trying to enhance their stories with images and sounds from historical reality while news consumers try to inform themselves about their historical reality by confronting the claims made by journalists and deciding on what to believe. Although consumer confidence in news media, and television news in particular, has steadily fallen in recent decades, consumers still rely on broadcast television as their primary source of news information (cf. Rosenstiel 17-18). Also, despite having a low amount of trust in media institutions, as detailed in the expansive Pew Research Center report by Rosenstiel, American news consumers con- tinue to long for information that informs their conceptions of society. As Jan Berg persuasively writes in his essay »Techniken der medialen Authentifizierung,« our desire for authenticity can be understood as a longing for the all-powerful, for the wondrous, the holy, and the au- thorless object (cf. 56, 65). He describes the modes and the depiction techniques of authenticity and posits that authenticity need not only be seen as a relic of undisputable omnipotence, magnificence, and holi- ness, but that instead one can also understand it as »a specifically modern modus of truth, a mode of compensation, which in the modern world shifts into those positions that have become empty as a result of 64 | SETH HULSE Enlightenment and de-deification« (Berg 56; my translation).1 Most interestingly, Berg highlights an important facet of the authentication process, namely that of self-ascription, of supposed authorlessness.

    January 20, 2021 Attorney Grievance Committee Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division, First Judicial Department 180 Maiden Lane New York, New York 10038 (212) 401-0800 Email: [email protected] Re: Professional Responsibility Investigation of Rudolph W. Giuliani, Registration No. 1080498 Dear Members of the Committee: Lawyers Defending American Democracy (“LDAD”) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization the purpose of which is to foster adherence to the rule of law. LDAD’s open letters and statements calling for accountability on the part of public officials have garnered the support of 6,000 lawyers across the country, including many in New York.1 LDAD and the undersigned attorneys file this ethics complaint against Rudolph W. Giuliani because Mr. Giuliani has violated multiple provisions of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct while representing former President Donald Trump and the Trump Campaign. This complaint is about law, not politics. Lawyers have every right to represent their clients zealously and to engage in political speech. But they cross ethical boundaries—which are equally boundaries of New York law—when they invoke and abuse the judicial process, lie to third parties in the course of representing clients, or engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation in or out of court. By these standards, Mr. Giuliani’s conduct should be investigated, and he should be sanctioned immediately while the Committee investigates. As lead counsel for Mr. Trump in all election matters, Mr. Giuliani has spearheaded a nationwide public campaign to convince the public and the courts of massive voter fraud and a stolen presidential election.

Joe Sibley of Camara & Sibley asked New York State Supreme Court Judge David Cohen to dismiss six of the claims against his client Giuliani because they constituted “product disparagement,” or calling the software lousy, not defamation. The latter is the charge brought by the company in a lawsuit against Fox, three of its hosts, Giuliani and Sidney Powell. Defendants have asked for the case to be dismissed and their counsel, one by one, had the chance at a long hearing today to say why, followed by rebuttals by Smartmatic’s team. Cohen asked Sibley about one of the Trump attorney’s claims — that, in Venezuela, Smartmatic “’switched votes around subtly, maybe ten percent per district, so you don’t notice it.’ Is there some support in that to show that they can’t even make out a claim for actual malice?” he asked. Here’s Sibley’s response and some of the exchange: Sibley: “I believe in the declaration there’s some discussion of how they did it, that they kind of skimmed votes here and there to flip the votes.” Cohen: “What about Mr.

  • Barack Obama's Strategy to Win the 2008 Democratic Nomination for President
    Barackin’ The Vote: Barack Obama’s Strategy to Win The 2008 Democratic Nomination for President By: Daniel H. Greeley GOVT 315.001 – Elections & Voting Behavior Capstone Advisor: Professor Candice Nelson Table of Contents Section Page Number Introduction 1 Overall Strategy 2 Message 9 Fundraising 16 State-by-State Tactics 20 Conclusion 28 Works Cited 30 Appendix I: Table 1 – Obama Campaign State-by-State Expenditure Totals 34 Appendix II: Chart 1 – Obama Campaign Expenditures by State Over Time 35 Appendix III: Chart 2 – Obama Campaign Expenditures by Type 36 Appendix IV: Charts 3-11 – Obama Campaign Expenditures Per Quarter For Key States 38 Greeley 1 Introduction: While most people think that the goal of a presidential campaign is to win the election, this is not always the case. Some candidates mount a presidential campaign to raise awareness about an issue, such as Senator Tom Tancredo on immigration reform. Others want to make one of the frontrunner candidates address a specific issue. And, other candidates might want to garner name recognition and fundraising prowess to strengthen their chances of winning re- election to their current office. Finally, some candidates, like George H.W. Bush in 1980, enter the race to showcase their political strengths in the hopes that they might be able to join their party’s ticket or administration if their party wins in the general election. Senator Barack Obama from Illinois, who is an African-American, is running in the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. Even four years ago, if someone had said an African-American was running for president, the conventional wisdom in the political establishment would probably have been that the candidate was running to raise awareness about race issues or to make the other candidates at least acknowledge these issues.
