I have to write an 8 page research paper on political parties. What could I write it on?

It has to be a shot research paper and I wanted to talk about the media influencing voters decisions. How can I tie it directly to political parties. I mean I cant just talk about the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads influencing voters against Kerry. I have to tie it directly to parties. Any help?

I would consider forming my paper around Internet media. It's influence on the politically involved computer user and how it has affected the dissemination of political rhetoric and the contributory effect it has had on the current Grand Canyon wide division between the two main American political parties.





The Ron Paul Internet effect vs. the reality of his political position in the "real" world might be worth considering also. It would apply to media because Ron Paul supporters (mainly Internet based) largely blame his failed candidacy on the media ignoring him.





Good luck with that paper. Working on one of my own right now that has my head about to explode ;-).

Reply:Do a paper on Independents because they are both for ideas from the Democrats and the Repulicans so that way you can cover all parties...
Reply:The media puts zero emphasis on any party other than the Republicans and Democrats. The majority of the population would never consider voting for any other party, most likely because they don't know about them and don't know what they are about....
Reply:The different news outlets have bias towards particular parties. Fox is famous for its Republican bent. Notice the way people move between it and the White House: Tony Snow left Fox for the White House, Karl Rove got hired by Fox pretty quickly after leaving the White House.





I'm sure the others have their deals, too.
