The Public Discourse of Climate Change in the United States
... The media is often blamed for the perceived polarization of the American public (e.g. Manjoo, 2008; Stroud, 2010; Sunstein, 2009), and it is argued that this could result in alternative constructions of reality (Manjoo, 2008). While it appears the media is increasingly ideological in an effort to ga ...
