American Revolution: From the Electoral Gap to the Banana Republic
Through an analysis of the rhetorical strategies used by mainstream U.S. media between November 8, 2000, and March 3, 2001, the authors show how the U.S. mainstream media helped to restabilize the United States as the pillar of democracy and how an analysis of media accounts can expose the changing nature of the order of things.
