God Willing? Political Fundamentalism in the White House, the 'War on Terror' and the Echoing Press By: David Domke Publisher: Pluto Press Print ISBN: 9780745323053, 0745323057 eText ISBN: 9781849642576, 1849642575 Edition: 1st Format: PDF Available from $ 125.00 USD SKU: 9781849642576 The political fundamentalism, offered up by the Bush administration after 9/11, capitalised upon the fear felt by many Americans. In essence, it is a conservative-religious ideology, but via strategic communication choices, it was transformed into a policy agenda that feels political rather than religious. These communications dominated public discourse and public opinion for months on end and came at a significant cost for democracy. The administration had help spreading its messages. The mainstream press consistently echoed the administration's communications - thereby disseminating, reinforcing and embedding the administration's fundamentalist worldview and helping to keep at bay Congress and any substantive public questioning. This book analyzes hundreds of administration communications and news stories from September 2001 to Iraq in spring 2003 to examine how this occurred and what it means for U.S. politics and the global landscape.
