Description
These files are the raw material for a study of the propaganda used by the George W. Bush administration to persuade Americans to support invading Iraq in 2003. They include documents from The Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States, George W. Bush; transcripts of television news shows on ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, and NBC; and contemporaneous public opinion polling. All documents are from the 9/11/2001 to 3/19/2003 timeframe. Text analysis of the aforementioned documents is also included. The report of conclusions—as yet unpublished—will be found in a paper entitled “The Work of an Hour: A Case Study of Propaganda” by Michael F. Russo
Methodology
The data was generated from texts collected from the Nexis Uni database and from The Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States online.
