- Summary:
- This book investigates the nature of persuasive attacks on Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential primary campaign. It begins by extending the theory of persuasive attack to include attacks on character as well as attacks on actions. William L Benoit and Mark J. Glantz use topical analysis to understand humor (late night television jokes, video from SNL Colbert, and Oliver articles in the Onion; and political cartoons) and Republican "establishment" attacks from Mitt Romney and the National Review. Quantitative content analysis examines attacks in primary debates and primary television spots and the book concludes with criticisms found on social media platforms and television talk shows. This book is recommended for scholars of rhetoric, political communication, political science, and media studies. Book jacket.
