James O'Keefe released three undercover videos via social media from October 17-24 exposing alleged voter fraud by the Democratic campaign. The videos were widely viewed online and discussed in media outlets. However, some media organizations questioned the validity of O'Keefe's videos and his motivations as a conservative activist. The videos led to resignations but also divided public opinions, with some praising the exposure of corruption while others criticized O'Keefe's tactics and history of selectively editing videos. The study analyzed how O'Keefe utilized social media and the varied media and public reactions to bypass traditional journalism.
The document provides an overview of the 2016 US presidential election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. It outlines their backgrounds, policy positions, and how supporters and opponents view each candidate. Clinton is an experienced politician and former Secretary of State, while Trump is a businessman and reality TV star who lacks political experience. They have different stances on issues like immigration, foreign trade, and national security. The document explores the factors that drive support for each candidate and also the criticisms of them.
I put together this presentation for my local Meetup to show attendees the marketing lessons I gleaned from this past 2016 presidential election.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
This is NOT about politics. It's about how the two main candidates (Trump and Clinton) SOLD their vision.
Or how they didn't. Or how one did better than the other and consequently moved more people in the battleground states to win.
I won't tell you here - look at the presentation and tell me what you think.
Dr. Reid Meloy is a forensic psychologist and the co-creator of the Workplace Assessment of Violence Risk (WAVR-21) and Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol (TRAP-18) instruments. In this session, Dr. Meloy will discuss the warning signs of lone actor terrorist threats in a corporate setting through the lens of the TRAP-18 (Terrorist Radicalization Assessment Protocol) methodology. Such indicators are considered proximal warning behaviors for targeted violence, and have been shown to be both reliable and valid measures of terrorism risk.
"Lock Him Up": the Antics of the Collective TricksterMarianne Kimura
The document summarizes how a crowd chanted "Lock him up!" at President Trump at a baseball game, mirroring his use of the phrase against Hillary Clinton. This represented a collective trickster act, as the powerless crowd briefly turned the tables on the powerful President through clever wordplay. The chant highlighted America's deep political divide and showed how an unlikely group could momentarily gain agency through humor and wit.
The document discusses the 2016 US Presidential Election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. It provides context about some of the issues discussed in videos and articles related to the election, including concerns that Trump's presidency could lead to increased discrimination, segregation, and terrorist attacks. It also notes that Clinton said "we build bridges not walls" in support of an open and united society rather than divisive isolation.
This document discusses three incidents of police brutality against African American men that led to riots. The first was the 1992 beating of Rodney King by LAPD officers, which was caught on video but the officers were acquitted, sparking the LA riots. The second was the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, where the officer was not indicted, fueling more riots. The third was the 2009 shooting of Oscar Grant by BART police in Oakland, where the officer was convicted of involuntary manslaughter to minimal outrage. While the riots caused damage, the incidents also galvanized social justice movements like Black Lives Matter seeking police reform and equal treatment of African Americans.

The document discusses how American perceptions of the president are shaped by media portrayals and images that symbolize certain qualities. It analyzes photos and clips of past presidents to show how their appearances projected strengths like leadership or weaknesses like lack of discipline. Symbolic images influence public views of a president's character and abilities to handle challenges like disasters. Presidents must be aware of how their words and visuals can impact perceptions of their fitness for office.
The document summarizes Dennis Prager's perspective on the "beer summit" meeting between President Obama, Professor Gates, and Sgt. Crowley. It argues that:
1) Conservatives were unaware that Biden was invited to provide "racial balance" and make it two black men and two white men.
2) Liberals are more focused on race than values or individual qualities.
3) The incident showed that liberals and many blacks see more racism in America than actually exists and are unwilling to acknowledge progress.
4) The election of Obama has not changed this perspective for most liberals and blacks.
The document discusses different types of media bias, including in print media, visual media like cartoons and ads, data displays, and personal narratives. It provides several examples of alleged liberal bias in how issues like gun control votes and the reporting on homelessness are portrayed. The conclusion acknowledges that completely unbiased reporting is difficult but that media should aim to minimize bias.
This document provides a literature review and background on Donald Trump's use of non-apology in his presidential campaign. It summarizes Trump's history of verbal attacks on opponents and public figures through media and Twitter, for which he refuses to apologize. The document reviews scholarly literature on political apology and establishes Trump's approach as a new "no apology" model of political communication. It aims to analyze how Trump's unapologetic style has impacted his successful campaign and may represent an emerging trend in politics.
The US elections- the most awaited event of the year, is now out of the way. It should be in the rear-view mirror for us, already looking forward and contemplating what a Biden Presidency will look like; perhaps musing on the legacy of the most erratic, divisive and possibly dangerous presidency in living memory. But that is not to be. The elections are over. Check. The results are known. Check.
This document provides a history of libel law in the United States, beginning with seditious libel laws in the 1700s that criminalized criticism of the government. It discusses important court cases like the trial of John Peter Zenger in 1735 and the Sedition Act of 1798. In 1964, the Supreme Court case Times v. Sullivan established that public officials must prove "actual malice" to win a libel suit, protecting free debate. The standard was later extended to public figures as well. This established the modern framework for libel that balances free speech with protection from false statements.
First Madame President - Is There Gender Bias Beth Schoren
This is an opinion of my own with many references and discussion of past Presidents to include games by which to think about who has been there and if Hillary "fits the image".
The document discusses trends in traditional news coverage of elections and how different actors, including the media, voters, and candidates, influence that coverage. It notes that while politicians often blame negative media coverage solely on the media, John Zaller provided alternative explanations by analyzing how the goals of all three groups impact coverage. For example, candidates' increased control over messaging has led to more press-initiated negativity as the media pushes back on restricted access. The document also examines how trivial and negative coverage has consequences for how the public views politics.
Media bias has been an ongoing issue that Accuracy in Media (AIM) was founded in 1969 to expose. AIM gives examples of media bias such as NBC editing 911 calls in the George Zimmerman case and ignoring poor unemployment numbers under President Obama. While the National News Council intended to address bias, it was ineffective and dissolved in 1983. Throughout the 1970s-1980s, newspapers and broadcast news leaned liberal but have since lost influence to the rise of cable news like Fox News, which addresses the bias that other networks ignore. Studies show most journalists are liberal and supported Democratic candidates. AIM continues working to combat bias and hold media accountable by fact checking coverage of issues like the Trayvon Martin case. Social media now
A sociologist credited with predicting the fall of the Soviet Union has warned that US global power is in a phase of accelerated decline under the leadership of Donald Trump — and will collapse while the property mogul is the White House.
Norwegian professor Johan Galtung is known as the "founding father" of peace studies as a scientific subject and is recognised for correctly predicting numerous historical events, among them the Tiananmen Square uprising in China and the September 11 attacks.
He attracted controversy in 2000 when he predicted US global power would collapse by 2025.

The Society of Professional journalists outlines four major rules of engagement for ethical journalists. This lecture discusses the code of ethics, and when it may need to be broken.
Facebook has a policy prohibiting praise or support of events they deem violate standards, but as internet providers are shielded from liability for user content by Section 230, they have no obligation to censor. However, social media CEOs are censoring accounts that don't conform to their views, like former President Trump for allegedly fomenting the January 6 riot. While people should be responsible for their own actions, social media censoring violates free speech. No one has a monopoly on truth, and social media shouldn't act as arbiters of acceptable views. Congress could repeal Section 230 protections if platforms censor, or CEOs should enable free exchange of all information and viewpoints.
The Chicago Tribune provided minimal and dry coverage of the 2012 election that focused on potential Republican candidates and how current issues might impact President Obama's re-election chances. In contrast, Politico, Daily Kos, and Huffington Post featured more extensive election coverage with differing tones. Politico favored Republican candidates while Daily Kos and Huffington Post were more critical of Republicans and less supportive of Obama.

Commonsense Political Thinking Book 8 2013 examiner completeGerald Furnkranz
This document is a table of contents for a book titled "Commonsense Political Thinking of a Common Man" containing 53 articles published in 2013. The articles cover topics related to gun control, the Obama administration, immigration reform, and other political issues. The table of contents lists the article titles and dates of publication.
Freedom of speech is increasingly at risk due to government repression and concerns over security and offending religions. New technologies have made it easier to spread messages globally but also allow greater government monitoring. While the US strongly protects free speech, some content offends other countries and cultures, contributing to terrorism threats. Regulating speech could increase global allies and decrease threats, but may undermine core democratic values of free expression. Ongoing debates focus on balancing these national security concerns with civil liberties.

This document provides details on a proposed planned development project located at the southeast corner of West Smith Street and Edgewater Drive in Orlando, Florida. The project would rezone 1.74 acres of land from AC-1/T/SP/AR, AC-1/T, and R-2A/T to PD to allow for the construction of a 7-story mixed-use building with 105 residential units, 35,237 square feet of office space, 22,247 square feet of commercial/retail space, and a 369-space parking garage. The document discusses the project's context and surrounding land uses, provides site plans and renderings, and analyzes the project's compliance with zoning requirements. City

This document discusses how a rural primary care clinic transformed to a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) and integrated their Allscripts EHR system. The clinic achieved NCQA level 3 recognition as a PCMH by enhancing access, using a team-based approach, implementing population health management strategies, planning and managing care, tracking and coordinating care, and measuring performance. Allscripts helped with interoperability, continuity of care, reporting, care plans, risk stratification, and care management. Benefits of the PCMH model included better care coordination, improved patient experience, disease management outcomes, and increased reimbursement for quality. Lessons learned emphasized patient-centeredness, a user-friendly EHR,

부모는 아이가 성장하고 발전하길 바라는 마음으로 좋은 가르침을 전달하기 위해 노력합니다.
하지만 아이들이 항상 부모의 뜻대로 성장하는 것은 아닙니다.
특히 아이에게 큰 상처가 될 수 있기 때문에 실수에 대한 조언이나 지적은 더욱 신중해야 합니다.
이러한 상황에서 부모는 어떤 방식으로 접근해야 할까요?
그 방식에 대해 알아보겠습니다.
The document discusses reasons for automated software testing, including saving time and money compared to manual testing by allowing tests to be repeated quickly and consistently. It also discusses improved accuracy, increased test coverage, and the ability to simulate large numbers of users that automated testing provides compared to manual testing. The document then provides tips for choosing an automated testing tool, such as supporting different programming languages, operating systems, test types and formats for creating and running tests.

It discusses causes and solutions for each problem type. For Out of Memory errors, it recommends tuning memory parameters, planning cluster resources, and avoiding repartitioning. For NoSuchMethod errors, it suggests shading libraries, changing dependencies, or enforcing class loading order. For slow joins, it advises broadcast joins and join strategy tuning.
PS 101 The Media And American Politics Fall 2008Christopher Rice
The document discusses the role of media in American politics. It defines what is considered "the media" and discusses its roles as a common carrier, watchdog, signaler and public representative. The document also explores the concepts of bias, objectivity and agenda setting in the media and debates whether and how bias can exist in reporting. It notes that while bias may be difficult to define and measure, media coverage can still reflect certain tendencies that favor some interests over others.
This document discusses the relationship between politics and popular culture. It provides examples of how politicians have embraced pop culture, like Ronald Reagan being an actor and Bill Clinton playing saxophone on TV. It also discusses how Barack Obama became a pop culture icon. The document then examines how television and social media have influenced politics, like Saturday Night Live sketches impacting views of Sarah Palin and controversies around social media policies. It analyzes grassroots political videos and images that spread online, arguing popular culture has empowered citizens and changed how people engage with politics.
This document discusses the role of news media in democracy. It outlines two models of democracy - classical representative democracy and elitist democracy - and their differing views on the roles of citizens, political elites, and news media. In classical democracy, citizens are well-informed and active in self-governance, while news media help inform the public and act as watchdogs. In elitist democracy, citizens are seen as incapable and passive, while political elites and news media guide public support for elite policies. The document also examines challenges like widespread political misperceptions and questions how news media can balance roles like public debate, accountability, and presenting diverse perspectives.
The document provides an analysis of a 30-minute CNN news segment hosted by Kate Bolduan. It summarizes several stories covered in the segment, including a psychological analysis of the Newtown shooter Adam Lanza and discussions of rape allegations against Bill Cosby. It argues that nearly every story covered had a political backdrop and subtle biases. It also asserts that the segment framed debates and "incepted" certain views through the panelists invited and perspectives emphasized, such as the view that a college degree is not necessary for all.
PS 101 The Media And American Politics Summer 2008Christopher Rice
This document discusses various aspects of the media and its role in American politics. It begins by defining different types of media and what constitutes "news." It then examines the media's roles as a common carrier, watchdog, signaler, and public representative. The document also explores how the media can influence politics through agenda-setting, framing issues, and potentially exhibiting bias. It discusses the challenges of defining and measuring bias and notes that perceptions of media bias are common. Overall, the document provides an overview of the complex relationship between media and politics in the United States.
Wikileak’s Prosecution or Persecution: Is this Western Democracy?Thesigan Nadarajan
If there is no difference between how democratic and Oligarchy Authoritarian political leaders think and behave, then, what does Western Democracy really stand for in the global political world? Why should the rest of the world listen to Western Democracy? Is Western Democracy really democratic? Is human rights really practiced in Western Democracy? These questions are being raised, because, what is preached in Western Democracy does not seem to tally with what is being practiced in the issues of Wikileaks and Jean Assange. Wikileaks and Jean Assange deserve a better democratic treatment than the ones they are getting now.
The document describes a girl named Lexi going on a trip to Ice Camp, a Christian-based camp. It details her long car ride there with her two best friends, during which they stopped at Target and Starbucks due to other girls wanting coffee. Upon arriving, they participated in activities like gospel and had one last thing to do before leaving. The document provides a descriptive summary of Lexi's experience at Ice Camp.
The document discusses media bias and whether it truly exists. It argues that while both liberals and conservatives claim bias in the media, the bias may be more of a myth perpetuated by political leaders to convince their followers. It aims to analyze cable news and talk shows to determine if provable bias exists or if the perception of bias depends on one's political viewpoint. It also discusses how context and a communicator's situation can influence the understanding and perception of messages.
The document discusses how Donald Trump's presidential campaign has been shaped by media coverage. It argues that Trump receives disproportionately more media attention than other candidates due to his inflammatory rhetoric. While most coverage has been negative due to racist, sexist, and xenophobic comments, the attention has still helped fuel his campaign by increasing his name recognition. Social media also plays a major role, as Trump is highly active on Twitter and controversial tweets can go viral quickly. The document concludes that as long as Trump continues making offensive statements, media will continue giving him extensive coverage, aiding his campaign.
The document summarizes a presentation about trends in media coverage of Hillary Clinton around the 2014 midterm elections. It analyzes coverage of Clinton in traditional news sources and online from October 21st to November 18th. The analysis found that 70% of articles mentioned Clinton as a potential 2016 presidential candidate. Coverage focused on her campaigning before the election and her status afterward. Liberal sources were generally more favorable in tone while conservative sources campaigned against a 2016 Clinton run. The document recommends developing relationships with allied reporters, connecting campaign messages to economic concerns, and monitoring online conversations to address issues before they spread.
What does it mean to live in a post-truth world? Is a post-truth world functional? This slide set discusses the centrality of truth to our institutions and its crucial significance for education
Media effects theories have evolved over time from assuming powerful direct effects to recognizing more conditional and nuanced impacts. Early models proposed media could directly shape attitudes through propaganda-like messages. However, research found people are not entirely passive and can resist persuasion through social and psychological factors. While media may cultivate worldviews over the long-term or influence children, effects are often indirect, conditional on individual traits, and reinforced by interpersonal networks. More recent models recognize effects depend on the message, medium, audience and other contextual factors.
This document discusses America's misinformation crisis. It defines misinformation as false information spread regardless of intent, while disinformation is false information spread with the intent to mislead. Party polarization has heightened demand for misinformation that aligns with one's own views. The rise of partisan media and breakdown of norms against lying have increased the supply of misinformation. Factors like confirmation bias and echo chambers on social media make misinformation spread widely and impact key issues like the COVID-19 pandemic response. Addressing the crisis will be challenging given entrenched psychological and media factors that contribute to its spread.
The study examined the effects of exposure to The Daily Show on political learning and information seeking. It found that for less politically interested viewers, exposure to political issues through comedy programs like The Daily Show was associated with increased attention to those issues in other hard news media, supporting the "gateway hypothesis". Two studies showed those with low political interest spent more time seeking information on issues first exposed through comedy compared to hard news or mixed clips. However, political comedy was more likely to produce issue recognition versus recall of details, suggesting its limitations for political learning. The role of political comedy in democracy was discussed.
The document discusses how pollsters and quantitative analysts failed to accurately predict Trump's victory in the 2016 US presidential election, while cultural anthropologists also struggled to understand and explain the Trump phenomenon. It argues that anthropologists should have taken a more dispassionate, ethnographic approach to analyze American society and culture, rather than reacting emotionally like distraught Hillary supporters. The document examines why American anthropologists did not employ their skills in participant observation and instead struggled to comprehend Trump's election, just like the numbers-focused pollsters.
Exploring the Tools for Meme PropagationJoe Brewer
In this research report, I explore how we currently monitor cultural trends in our campaign efforts. I also want to begin mapping out the tools and capabilities that will be needed to fully operate as a “meme spreading” organization in the days ahead. We recently launched the One Party Planet pamphlet and have gathered a suite of social analytics that reveal much—both as indicators of spreading and as a demonstration of how much deeper and more nuanced our understandings will need to become as we adopt more sophisticated tools for cultural research moving forward.
The approach I take is to compare the spreading of One Party Planet with several memes that went viral as the United States experienced major racial conflict in the last two weeks. By doing so, we can begin to articulate what kinds of monitoring and analytic tools will be needed to fully implement our mission of taking radical ideas into the mainstream.
These slides are for a lecture on civil disobedience in an Introduction to Philosophy course at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
2. Introduction and Purpose:
This final project is intended to track how a journalist uses social media for their
work.
I explored how conservative activist journalist James O’Keefe utilized social
media after he leaked three videos (Oct.17-24) in an undercover investigation
in exposing the corruption of the Democratic campaign on voter fraud.
3. Methodology and purpose of study:
● I will understand who James O’Keefe is and what is his mission.

founder Bob Creamer stepped down from the campaign after this video was released. O'Keefe states "If it looks like a
duck and talks like a duck and walks like a duck it's probably a duck." "Stay tuned cause there is more to come."
8. Media Reactions
O’ Keefe deliberately by passed top media organizations to make news. O’Keefe’s expose and social dominance approach
was difficult to ignore.
The media wrote and discussed his video series on prime time news, various publications wrote about the content and
validity of the video footage. This video series were covered by ABC News, FOX News, CNN, American Thinker,Daily
Caller, Breitbart, New York Times, Truth Revolt and NPR. Breitbart editors stated the most heavily traffic reported
story there ever had.
The media discredit James O’ Keefe’s and feel he is a progressive radical who is a convicted felon that would go to great
lengths to fulfill his agenda.
The media questioned if the video content was “doctored” to serve O’Keefe’s agenda as a conservative Trump supporter as
it is said he received a $10,000 donation from the Trump campaign.
It has been said many media organizations are afraid because they are publicly traded companies do not want to be
retailed or investigated by the Hillary foundation.
O’Keefe’s way of investigative reporting is the true definition of fact centered discourse during a time where the principle
of neutrality was strong in American journalism especially during an election this is not what we see today.
9. Public Reactions
Joe Armstrong Watching the Liberal Media newscasts and even
reading the papers has become a complete waste of my time. What
ever happened to 2-source verification. Anything less equates to
media bias and false representation. Mainly, the Liberal Media has
failed to honestly critique Democratic candidates at least on an
equal basis as they do Republican candidates. The Liberal media
engages in character assassination and they are doing it to
hundreds of decent people across this country who totally reject
their political beliefs. Not only is the Liberal Media complacent in
character assassination...they are aiding and abetting in it's
conduct. They are a joke and no one should even consider them
news organizations anymore.
Since I disdain everything they stand for, I expect them to
continue on with their assaults on Republican candidates across
the country. If people want to listen to an believe the trash they
spout, then by all means do so. But the Democratic Party
sucks...anyone that is one of them and engaged in character
assassination sucks, and I for one will never vote for even one
Democrat because of it. When they engage in character
assassination using deceit and lies...that is what their subjects are
voting for to represent them in our government.

Lorena Ambrose O'Keefe is a convicted criminal with
a history of doctoring video to advance his ideological
agenda. In the past, O'Keefe and his Project Veritas
Action have been criticized for strategically editing
footage to create false accusations about people or
groups. None of the alleged "schemes" described in the
conversations every took place. Moving on
folks...President Hillary Clinton 2016!!
10. Course Content Aspects
● Fact Centered discourse - In our readings we have discovered the true meaning of news reporting
with commentary. This controversial video series has a impact but many question on if this was true
reporting or if it served the agenda of others.
● Ethics- Many journalist, Media Organizations and citizens question whether the aggressive approach
of guerilla journalism is ethical due to its lack of objectivity.
● Bias - There is a strong sense of bias in the release of these videos that is just as evident as
indifference of the public during the 2016 presidential elections. It is difficult to take a side due to
their strong sense of conviction on either opposing side.
● Technology- The method of delivery was solely on technology journalism via social media to incise
receptivity with the public but mainly with the media organizations who instrumentalize their
stories to be aligned with political parallelism.
11. Summary Analysis
I found there was a lot of receptivity with the media and the public surrounding the launch of these three exposes in
revealing the dirty antics of the Hillary campaign on voter fraud.The method was solely through leaking video content
via social media.
O’ Keefe deliberately by passed top media organizations to make news. O’Keefe’s expose and social dominance approach
was difficult to ignore.
The nature of the social media responses controversial and differ from media organizations versus the public.
The media discredit James O’ Keefe’s and feel he is a progressive radical who is a convicted felon that would go to great
lengths to fulfill his agenda. They questions the ethical integrity of his guerilla journalism investigations.
The public’s response was a bit different many praised his efforts of exposing corruption and call him the modern day
American hero.
The grassroot was very effective in targeting the public and their response to the video content.
