    Throughout political campaigns in history we have seen many different evolutions from debates to political ads on television. Since political ads became big in 1952, there have been a few ads that have made a large mark, and even some that have changed the course of political campaigning. Few of the oldies-but-goodies have been updated, repurposed, and made prevalent in this year’s election cycle. One of these ads was put on television in 1964 by the Lyndon Johnson campaign and was redone and reused by the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016. This ad is known as the Peace Little Girl (Daisy) ad in 1964 and called Daisy in 2016 as titled on the Living Room Candidate website.…

The movie Election (1999) portrays everything that is wrong and ridiculous in the American political system. The film says that most of the American values in politics are rigged because when it comes to elections, the candidates chosen aren’t always the ones with the best intentions. Instead, the winner is the one willing to go lengths to get everyone’s personal approval and go beyond just for show.…

    People who disseminate information through media are in possession of one of the most influential tools in society. Popular cartoonists fall under this category, as they can project their biased and personal perspectives on reality. “What political cartoonists portray may be an imaginary situation in allegory or a figure greatly distorted by caricature, but to the artists this is the essence of what is actually happening” (Charles Press, The Political Cartoon) Many cartoonists truly believe that their “distortion” of reality captures the reality everyone else is experiencing. Therefore, images circulated in society have the potential to convey opinions and stereotypes.…

    She was the Democratic candidate that supported ideals such as equality to minorities, pro-choice, and preventing climate change problems (“Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton on the Issues”). To the Republicans, she was seen as a liar, a criminal, untrustworthy, and even a murderer for her acts against the Benghazi troops and the email scandal. Clinton was caught using her private email to send and receive government based emails, almost 31,000 at that (Zurcher). Contrasting to the numerous presidential elections in the past, neither Clinton nor Trump were seen as prestigious candidates, leaving America with a tough…

    This political cartoon uses one picture to make its point. The picture relies mostly on visual elements; however, it uses some text to better make Cagle’s point. The text gives the viewer an insight into the reporters’ thoughts and the things that Donald Trump has said throughout his campaign. This text gives the cartoon a subtle message, but is meant mostly to be entertaining. This illustration is mostly comical which makes the message not as forthright.…

    The event that inspired this cartoon was Pope Francis recent visit to the white house and his speech on a few different topics, two of them being Abortion and climate change. The artist was trying to show the reader Obama's feelings, towards the topics Pope Francis was mentioning during his speech. The artist emphasizes the font on the papers that the pope is holding, to make it clear that Obama either agrees or disagrees to what the pope is talking about. This cartoon is a little persuasive, because it’s depicting that due to democrats beliefs on supporting abortion we will not have future generations. Therefore, Mr. Kelley might be trying to persuade that it would be pointless to worry about the climate if we don’t even worry about the termination of human pregnancy.…
