During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of media politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.

Fox's Next Four Years
Last Sunday's NY Times had an interesting article about Fox News's approach to handling the new presidency.

Do ratings trends of liberal/conservative media correlate with an administration's popularity? If so, Roger Ailes is probably praying that Obama's honeymoon period does not make it to 100 days.
