Outrage Industry - Political Opinion Media and the New Incivility

Zusatztext illuminating in a number of ways Informationen zum Autor Jeffrey M. Berry is John Richard Skuse Professor of Political Science at Tufts University.Sarah Sobieraj is Associate Professor of Sociology at Tufts University. Klappentext In early 2012, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh claimed that Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University law student who advocated for insurance coverage of contraceptives, "wants to be paid to have sex." Over the next few days, Limbaugh attacked Fluke personally, often in crude terms, while a powerful backlash grew, led by organizations such as the National Organization for Women. But perhaps what was most notable about the incident was that it wasn't unusual. From Limbaugh's venomous attacks on Fluke to liberal radio host Mike Malloy's suggestion that Bill O'Reilly "drink a vat of poison... and choke to death," over-the-top discourse in today's political opinion media is pervasive. Zusammenfassung A stimulating expose on how the roots of today's partisan rage lie in the "outrage industry" - deregulated, commodified media markets that will do anything for money and attention.
