ABSTRACT

This research examines CNN and Fox News coverage of the 2017 “Unite the Right” rallies held in Charlottesville, VA. The study uses critical race theory to examine how Fox News’s Hannity and CNN’s AC 360 talk about race and racism in American society in the context of a polarizing, racially-charged event. Results from the textual analysis suggest that both programs structured their coverage around President Donald Trump’s reaction to the rally. Hannity’s content was primarily structured around themes of defense and blame — it defended Trump and Republicans and cast blame upon Democrats, liberal activists, Black people, and mainstream media. AC 360 constructed Trump as a racist and “unfit” to be president, but also presented a conflicted discourse about racism in American society. Specifically, some of the show’s guests suggested that American society had largely moved past extreme forms of racism. Other guests, however, implied that some Americans have exaggerated the extent to which American society has moved beyond racism. Both shows offered up at least some support for the idea that America has become a “post-racist” society.

CNN 和 Fox 的白人至上主义:AC 360 和 Hannity 对夏洛茨维尔“团结右翼”集会的报道

摘要

本研究调查了CNN福克斯新闻对 2017 年在弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔举行的“团结右翼”集会的报道。该研究使用批判种族理论来检验福克斯新闻汉尼蒂CNN 的AC 360如何在两极分化、充满种族色彩的事件背景下谈论美国社会的种族和种族主义。文本分析的结果表明,这两个节目都围绕唐纳德特朗普总统对集会的反应构建了他们的报道。Hannity的内容主要围绕辩护和指责的主题构建——它为特朗普和共和党人辩护,并指责民主党人、自由活动家、黑人和主流媒体。AC 360将特朗普塑造成一个种族主义者,“不适合”担任总统,但也呈现了关于美国社会种族主义的矛盾话语。具体来说,该节目的一些嘉宾表示,美国社会在很大程度上已经摆脱了极端形式的种族主义。然而,其他嘉宾暗示,一些美国人夸大了美国社会已经超越种族主义的程度。这两个节目至少在一定程度上支持美国已经成为“后种族主义”社会的观点。
