In “Reading and Thought” by Dwight Macdonald, Macdonald raises the idea of reading deeply and how our society has changed its reading style. He points out that our modern society constantly reads irrelevant information in articles, newspapers, or magazines in our daily lives. A term called “functional curiosity” is a person’s interest in being amused, entertained or wanting to know what’s happening around the world. According to Henry Luce, the creator of Time magazine, “Functional Curiosity grows as the number of educated peoples grows.” Macdonald argues that being “functionally curious” is not functional because it does not help the individual function.
In Jill Stein’s response to the fifth question, “Where do you stand on NDAA Section 1021?” (2012 Third Party Presidential Debate, 2012, 1:01:32-1:01:38), she clearly used vocalics, “vocal characteristics we use to communicate nonverbal messages” (McCornack, 2013, p. 233), when she stated the following, “It’s an outrage that 1021 NDAA was ever passed to start with. It’s an incredible betrayal of our civil liberties that the president has assumed dictatorial rights to put us in prison at his pleasure without charge or without trial” (2012 Third Party Presidential Debate, 2012, 1:01:43-1:02:07).

Bush v. Gore was a Supreme Court case that occurred in 2000 after the presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore. After Florida citizens casted their votes, officials noticed the numbers were very close; Bush led Gore by only about 1,800 votes.

In the article “Donald Trump: How the Media Created the President” by David Sillito, he claims that the media messed up because they did not “...communicate the truth with enough force...” (Sillito 1) and in a way helped Donald Trump become president. Then, he goes on to say, that another mistake the media made was giving him too much air time. Rather than focus on the important details of the election, the media began to target the drama in the election and obviously Trump is followed by drama. Furthermore, many previous presidential candidates had often paid to get air time, on the other hand, Trump was able to attain attention without the persuasion of money.
In general, the media tends to cover races that are competitive, and the more competitive the race, the more likely it will be covered.

In terms of paid media, as stated in “Am Gov 2015-2016,” candidates may utilize paid media in order to “emphasize their good character and their stand on important issues” (220).

In the last few months, the current situation of asylum seekers has caused an increment of racist remarks in the news. The migrant crisis is currently considered a hot topic in the press, what implies that those events are considered newsworthy (NewsBank, 2015; Van Dijk, 1991, p.3). Actually, the press has always been a significant tool to spread ideologies, being racism one of them (Van Dijk, 1991, p.10). Consequently, racism in the press is an interesting topic of research for many sociolinguists, as the linguistics’ professor Teun A. Van Dijk. In his book Racism and the Press, Van Dijk affirms that ethnics are usually negatively portrayed in the press (1991, ix).
