Tea with Dr. J: Manufacturing Celebrity Politics Episode 2

Episode 2 of Tea with Dr. J is out. This week we discuss Manufacturing Celebrity Politics.

These ideologies about celebrity are bleeding into our political world… if a politician is not well-known–they might not stand a chance.

But, if you put a household name on the ballot, name recognition–not achievement will win. If Oprah did choose to run for president–her name recognition alone would make her President of the United States.I would feel sorry for her opponent.

I am a professor, pretend political pundit, media critic, and the author of the upcoming book: Political Rhetoric, Social Media, and American Presidential Campaigns: Candidates' Use of New Media. (December 2020 Lexington Books) Critiquing and monitoring social media/media in the political process is what I do. I live for American Presidential Campaigns.
