Election 2000
[ send me this paper ]
A 17 page paper discussing the media's treatment of the campaign and its
two leading candidates, Al Gore and George W. Bush. The purpose of the paper is to determine
whether the media shifts its support to the "underdog" as determined by the polls, by examining
both the basis of journalism and examples of articles published at varying times throughout the
campaign. The paper concludes that journalists do not present the "full, fair and accurate" picture
of facts as they exist, but of facts taken in the context of the philosophies of John Rawls, who
maintains that fairness lies in basing need on the most disadvantaged of the society. The paper
demonstrates bias in the published accounts, but bias based on philosophy rather than through
overt intent. Bibliography lists 17 sources.
