Mislead And Are Becoming Apathetic To Politics
In class and in the text book it was discussed how Americans are often mislead and are becoming apathetic to politics. In the Introduction of the textbook it was stated, “Much of the blame for public ignorance falls not only at Americans’ feet, but at a broken political and media system which is responsible for disseminating much of the misinformation and distortion that Americans suffer so regularly from today (27).” The United States system of politics in the media is therefore, not sustainable in the long run if the American public continues to be misinformed. An example of data showing how Americans are misinformed is the comparison between MSNBC and Fox news watchers. Both media sources are considerable echo chambers with right wing

    Media Bias

    A regular viewer may not filter out any bias, therefore media sources often times over-exaggerate in order to persuade their audience. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the freedom of speech and press, so without any restrictions media outlet can freely express their views how ever they like. In a general sense the Constitution created this immunity that protects the rights of groups rather than primarily of individuals. "How is the media biased?" Media outlets like all cooperations has a goal, and that goal is to frame the public's mind. The motive is clear, it is designed to provoke and persuade. With the technology advancing at an exponential rate, it makes it easier for anyone to come across a biased article or news on the internet. I am not saying all news coverage are not straightforward, but the most popular ones have the most opinionated hosts. Due to theses segmented biases, many informations are distorted. These include bias by omissions, story selection, labeling, placement, selection of source, racial bias, conservative/liberal bias and so on. Many politicians utilize media for their benefit, like running their campaign. Because of the manipulative influence that media has on the public, many candidates attempt to get a hold of these media outlets to work in their favor. With Twitter and other social media become a powerful platform, ideas and informations now…

    Synthesis Essay on Effects of Television on Presidential Elections

    For decades the American public has relied on television to broadcast the “correct” opinions and to inform them of what they should believe. Americans have become so dependent on television, that many individuals such as political parties and TV Networks have used this to their advantage. Modern discussion on the use of television in the political arena has proven that television has had a detrimental impact on the presidential election process because more TV Networks broadcast the presidential debates now than ever due to its massive influence, it has become a competition of who is attractive, and in reality the words of trustworthy, well-known people are taken more into consideration than the one’s of actual candidates.…

    Social Media Bias

    For instance, many media outlets are seeking economic gain instead of seeking the truth. Daniel Sutter illustrates this point in his research, showing how the media is focused on generating revenue (402). Consequently, the media is encouraging bias in order to attract and maintain a loyal following and source of revenue. In fact, through the use of the internet, alternative news sources are able to produce news that is usually “not fact-checked or is simply false” (The President and the Press 21). In order to stay competitive many mainstream sources are then forced to publish more biased articles. This increase in the publication of biased articles among mainstream sources is now allowing the media to clarify the facts and then formulate the facts into opinions. All in all, this is greatly affecting politics by forcing citizens to rely on the media to form their opinions (Perse 82). For example, Gregory Martin and Ali Yurukoglu reveal how the increase of bias in the media creates a polarization in the political parties (37). As noted by Martin and Yurukoglu, “the increase in polarization depends critically on the existence of both a persuasive effect and a taste for like-minded news” (4). They also observed that by watching certain news sources like “FNC increases the probability of voting Republican in presidential elections” (Martin and Yurukoglu 37). Beyond that there are several examples of the media affecting political decisions. In particular the birther issue of Obama’s 2008 election showed how a blatant lie spread by the press caused many voters to reconsider their decision (Lewandowsky 118). In brief, the media is seeking greater success and therefore misinforming many…

    Samuelson provides several statistics from Pew in his article regarding how many people actually believe what they hear from the media. The number of people that believe most of what they hear has gone down significantly over the past decades. This shows that today’s media is less concerned about the truth than they were years ago.…

    Explain why voter turnout has been declining in the past half of the century and why voter turnout in presidential years is higher than that in midterm elections.

    In the past half of the twentieth century, researchers observed a decline in the voter turnout in federal elections. It has also been observed that the voter turnout has been higher in presidential elections than in midterm elections. The main factors of the declines are the citizens' negative public attitudes and the widespread political "apathy". On the other hand, the difference between presidential and midterm election voter turnout was caused by what I call the "media effect", which is explained in the essay, and also Kernell's theory.One of the main factors of federal vote turnout decline is the negative public attitudes toward the performance of the politicians and political institutions involved in federal politics. The objects of perceived public displeasure run the complete gamut of personnel and institutions, but when asked, people most prominently mention "politicians" and "the government", general terms which indicate the broad nature of the attitudes people ascribe to others. These negative attitudes are not necessarily personally held by respondents who voted in the election. However, it is likely that these feelings are fairly widespread. The lodestones of discontent are politicians and the government. There is a widespread perception that politicians are untrustworthy, selfish, unaccountable, lack credibility, are not true to their word, etc. Similarly, the government, sometimes imagined with a capital "G" and sometimes without, betrays the people's trust, and accomplishes little. Candidates are also mentioned frequently, because as one might expect, they are perceived to have the same faults as "politicians". Political parties are singled out as well, because some attributed the lowered voting rate to the difficulties people might have in finding any good choices, or in distinguishing between the parties that do exist. Potential voters have difficulty in relating to the issues brought forward by the parties at…

    Media's Effects on Political Voters

    The effect that the media has on voters can be extremely diverse. From entirely formulating an opinion to strengthening an existing one, the media has the ability to do both but not to every type of individual. In order to understand how various citizens are influenced by media messages, Philip Converse et al. (1966) separated voters into three distinct groups: those with the highest levels of political awareness and understanding, those with the lowest levels and those of moderate understanding. In alignment with this, Graber (1984) theorised that a voter’s predispositions are the vital determinant when examining how effectively the media’s messages can sway opinions. It is therefore voters’ prior knowledge and understanding of political happenings that formulates the foundation for their decisions and thus their naivety of such happenings that allows them to be swayed by media messages.…

    Americans Are Ignorant Of Politics Analysis

    While I do agree that Americans are ignorant of politics, I disagree that television is the major factor for people's cluelessness to politics and the government. Television is no longer the first thing that people go to to check their news. Nowadays social media is all over the place, on people's phones, on their laptops, etc., and with all these media surrounding the public there is bound to be some biased information concerning certain topics, like politics. Many websites would include biased information in order to get the viewer to agree with their way of thinking, and most people are too lazy to research other sites to confirm if the site is credible or not. These biased websites can either make the ignorant citizens more clueless concerning…

    In the last few years, America has undergone a significant cultural change.

The media controlled the "means of communication" and it used that power to censor virtually all discussion of its own role in shaping events…

    Media Influence On America

    Today, more than ever the media plays a pivotal role in the ways in which Americans think and what they believe. Media can influence the masses in a number of different ways. Without the media it would be virtually impossible for the typical American citizens to be informed of today's events. But information is not always the media's goal. In fact, it rarely is. Many Americans feel that they can form opinions on there own. But, unknowingly opinion's are formed simply by what paper gets delivered to your door or what channel you watch. The views of the president are greatly affected by the media due to the overwhelming amount of coverage by every form of media.…
