- 5. Watergate Scandal Joylyn Case Rasmussen College- Vision of Am. Section 01 The cultural relevance of the article, promoter of the magazine and their political biases The article was funded by 400 associated Press managing editors and to a greater extent the political opponents of President Nixon (Kilpatrick, 1973). They wanted to publicize the president’s view on the allegations that his administration was involved in vices, especially the Watergate Scandal. In the political scandal which occurred in the United States in the 70’s, the presidents administration was purported to have broken into the Democratic National Committee headquarters which was situated at Watergate office Complex in Washington. People were massacred and the issue had been in picture for the past few months, prior to the live session. Their political biases were that they never asked about the positive things that the president had done for the nation. They mainly focused in what was not done in the right way by the president’s administration. They mainly asked about Watergate scandal, milk rise and tax evasion issues, all of which he were emphasized by the press in their questions. They capitalized on his political weaknesses instead of capitalizing on his strengths as well. The article purports the president as being involved in the dirty tricks like bugging the political opponents’ office out of suspicion. The information on the issues was got from an FBI director who was hired by the president’s opponents. The article depicted the president as a hypocrite who dismissed the claims without clear explanation. The article led to the president losing popular support due to the bias that was exhibited in the article. The president later resigned as a result of the scandals highlighted in the question answer session.
- 6. Article’s main point and the writer's message to his/ her readers The main point of the article was to inform the reader about the turn of events during the hour long question answer session. In the Associated Press Managing Editors annual convention, the president disclosed a number of issues which were of concern to the entire society. The article relives the questions which the press asked on behalf of the society. The issues that the president was questioned about were about unpaid income taxes, Watergate scandal and a kickback from the milk lobby. The article gives a clear description of the president’s responses. The article outlined that, the president, in his assertions, had acquitted himself in the best way. He was described as being composed and atop the subject throughout the session. It is only during the question about tax that he showed a little panic. He was said to never criticize his political enemies during the entire session. The article informs the reader that the president, on being asked about the issue of taxes which was reported on The Providence, R.I newspaper, never disputed the little figures which he was said to have paid in his refusal to paying income tax in 1971 and 1972(Kilpatrick, 1973). The article also reminds the reader of the best part of the news conference, and described it as being the time when he defended himself on the claims that he had profited from his early years in public service. Accordingly, he declared that, he had previously made mistakes but he never profited from public service and he had also never obstructed justice. The article’s intention was to put across the message that the president did not end the questions over his honesty issues. The statement “I am not a crook”, was later used against him and the public associated it with the water gate scandal. The magazines impact on popular culture The magazine made an impact on the popular culture. The session was aired on the national television for every citizen to watch. The citizens became aware of the president’s stand
- 7. concerning the Watergate scandal among the other issues which he tackled (Kilpatrick, 1973). After, the magazine published the article, the readers approved of the president’s skill in dealing with the questions. The president used some words while answering questions, some of which became common phrase in future dialogues. In his defense to the Watergate case, the president declared that he was not a crook and that he had never profited from his public service. The statement said by the president during the live interview session became popular among the society. It was adapted by television shows such as Family Guy and Saturday night live. The magazine has made the president famous and he has been remembered for the way he answered the questions asked by press and the way he handled the situation has since been used as reference in lawsuits. Since the time, presidents of other countries have become democratic and give time for the press, in case of issues of concern for the entire public. Presidents are no longer feared by the press as it used to be in years prior to the publishing of the question answer session between President Nixon and the 400 associated Press managing editors. The session brings laughter to the society as a result of the statements uttered by president. He brought a sense of humor in the serious issue when he was asked what he did about energy conservation. He answered that he had saved energy by not allowing a backup aircraft to follow him on that particular trip to the press convention. He said that they would not impeach him if the plane he used went down. Reference Kilpatrick, C. (1973). “Washington Post:Nixon Tells Editors, 'I'm Not a Crook'”.

- 8. RUNNING HEADER: POPULAR TELEVISION PROGRAM Popular Television Program Popular Television Program Joylyn Case Rasmussen College- Vision of Am. Section 01 Popular Television Program I Love Lucy is one of the most legendary and popular situation comedies of all time, maintaining its ability to charm audiences even half a century later. The show follows the life of Lucy Ricardo, a zany housewife in 1950s New York City as she attempts to break into show business, defy her husband or just keep life interesting through a series of schemes and mishaps. Showcasing the exceptional comedic talents of its star, Lucille Ball, the show has a timeless ability to entertain. In addition to its entertainment value, the show’s 1950s setting provides a rich point of cultural critique. It has been accused of reinforcing patriarchal norms and being degrading to women. Lucy and her best friend Ethel are often consumed by petty, material desires; they are frequently depicted as incompetent; their messes are usually cleaned up by their more sensible, authoritative husbands. Still, what messages in I Love Lucy speak the loudest? Do Lucy Ricardo’s never-quite-successful schemes as a housewife overshadow Lucille Ball’s professional success as a businesswoman, comedian and actress? Despite the show’s
- 9. outward adherence to some of the patriarchal ideology of the times, I Love Lucy was a vehicle for Lucille Ball to empower women, both within and outside the world of the show. To understand the enormous success of I Love Lucy, it is important to ground the show in the context of the early to mid- 1950s in America. The postwar era in the late 1940s and early 1950s brought a rise in suburban living. The single-family home, the nuclear family, and a strong patriarch made up the American ideal. The man of the home was the breadwinner, and his wife made the home and raised the children. In the wake of the war, upward mobility was the goal, and that meant more leisure time, consumer goods, and predictability. Lucille Ball was being presented with the opportunity to star in her own TV show based on her hit radio show, My Favorite Husband. Because of their careers, she and her husband, bandleader Desi Arnaz, had been constantly dealing with the stresses of a long distance relationship since their marriage in 1940. She saw the start of the television show as an opportunity for she and Desi to work together; she wanted Desi, rather than actor Richard Denning, to play her husband. The couple set to work convincing CBS executives, who were skeptical because of Arnaz’s Cuban heritage, that this casting could be a success with the American people. I Love Lucy premiered on Monday, October 15, 1951; within a few months, it was bringing over sixteen million viewers a week and its popularity only continued to increase (Edgerton 132). Lucy ran as a half hour sitcom until May 1957, and as monthly hour-long specials from November 1957 until April 1961 (“Television and Gender” 87). I Love Lucy episodes follow a fairly consistent format; Lucy either wants something or wants to hide something, and goes about pursuing her desire in an outrageous fashion. She is almost always joined by her best friend and landlord Ethel, usually aligned in opposition against their husbands, Ricky and Fred. Recurring themes include Lucy’s desire to enter show business, division of the sexes, Lucy’s jealousy, elaborate plans (and their undoing), traditional husband/wife conflicts, and the
- 10. use of trickery. There is an alternative way to read the show, however. In an article about Lucy and its commodification, Lori Landay asserts that the show struck such a powerful chord with viewers because of the way it, particularly its main character, “dramatized and personified cultural conflicts about gender, marriage, and commodification” (“Millions ‘Love Lucy’” 26). The power of ideals represented on television persists today. These picture-perfect TV families depicted 1950s domesticity with none of the underlying conflict felt by many women at the time. I Love Lucy, on the other hand, portrayed a domesticity that was challenged by the woman of the house in her refusal to settle for the life of a housewife (“Television in the Home” 12- 13). The show’s creator’s carefully balanced society’s perspectives on domesticity with their own, creating a television couple that lived by societies accepted standards but which, in reality, was only possible through the rejection of those standards. Lucy was received so well because it challenged the strict gender roles of the domestic ideal, creating a televisual reality that more closely represented peoples’ day to day experiences. This is not to suggest that Lucy’s objective was to critique gender roles, just that it made use of comedy to this end. Sitcoms on American television are important points from which to reflect upon and develop ideas about culture. A unique power they possess is that they don’t need to recreate our reality, they need only create a reality the audience likes (“Television and Gender” 91). In this way, audiences can test out new social ideas from a safe distance, and may become accepting of perspectives they otherwise would not have considered, simply because they’re packaged in a way they like so much. I Love Lucy is not a perfect show, but in the context of the culture at large at the time of its production, it displays many progressive qualities having to do with gender representation. Lucy’s constant defiance of Ricky was made acceptable by its entertainment value and the reassertion of male dominance at
- 11. the conclusion of every episode, but the audience knew Lucy would defy him again in the next episode. This conflict spoke to the tensions widely felt around the newly developed model of domesticity in postwar America. In total opposition to societal gender expectations, Lucille Ball was not only the life force of the show, but also a producer and outstanding physical comedian. The combination of the “Lucy” and “Lucille” personas made her a sympathetic and truly empowering example for women. Lucy/Lucille’s influence persists today in how we view gender representations, how women see themselves, and how we educate others.
