White House spokesman Tony Snow sent journalists digging for their dictionaries.
He called recent criticism by the former President Bill Clinton ."chutzpah"
(大胆放肆). With just one sentence, Snow managed to make headlines, a joke and a
defense of President George W. Bush. Interestingly, this is how battles are
fought and won in US politics - with carefully-worded one-liners (一行字幕新闻) made
for TV which often lack substance and clarity (清晰度).
? ?"The amount
of information that candidates attempt to communicate to people is actually
getting smaller and smaller," said Mark Smith, a political science professor at
Cedarville University. This has been accompanied by a changing media
environment, Smith said. In 1968, the average TV or radio soundbite (演讲中的句子或短语)
was 48 seconds, according to Smith. In 1996, the average soundbite had shrunk to
8 seconds. Thus, politicians wanting publicity try to make their public
communication as quotable as possible.
? ?Campaigning politicians
also use 30-second TV ads and clever campaign slogans to boost their messages.
Republican presidential candidate John McCain rides to campaign stops in a bus
named the "Straight-Talk Express". McCain hopes the name will convince voters he
plans to tell people the truth - whether it’s in fashion or not. Democratic
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has chosen the
campaign slogan "Let the conversation begin". She hopes it will help her appear
open-minded and friendly.
? ?But one-liners, TV ads and campaign
slogans all have a single key ingredient: something commonly called political
"spin". Brooks Jackson, a former journalist and the currant director of the
non-partisan (无党派的) website FactCheck.org, calls spin "just a polite word for
deception (欺骗)."
? ?"I do believe that very often politicians
believe their own spin," said Jackson.
? ?"Strong partisans suffer
from a universal human tendency: They ignore the evidence that would force them
into the uncomfortable position of having to change their minds and admit that
they were wrong." |
