Dear Mass Communication & Society students; I hope everyone is nearing completion of their final LAP binder. I will collect binders from Campaign Managers on April 30th. Below is a slightly revised Campaign Checklist reflecting the changes we discussed in class on April 9th. We will be meeting at St. Luke's School on April 30th (more info to follow), so be sure to bring your binder and all owed materials with you. I will have a 3-ring hole punch if anyone needs it. All late assignments MUST be to me NO LATER THAN April 30th!- Session 15 -
Project: Complete all campaign materials.
Reading: Disinformacracy - H. Rheingold

"Fouteenth Session: The Age of Misinformation"
Mr.Bush similarly emerges from this book as a naïve, impulsive and stubborn leader,whose moral for denial have made him more inclined to double down on a bad bet than ever to admit a mistake, a president whose post-9/11 search for a bold new approach to the world made him susceptible to neoconservative ideas that had gained little traction with his father or Bill Clinton.
President Bush’s strategies, failed
“because they did not fit the realities of his era”: “They were based not on a grasp of technology, history or foreign cultures but rather on fantasy, faith and willful indifference
toward those affected by their consequences.”
Failing to acknowledge the limits of American power, President Bush and his aides ended up trumpeting the country’s “reduced powers and, as a result, knowledge of the local culture and no plan for what to do after the tyrant fell. They
dreamed of spreading democracy around the world — but did nothing to help build the democratic institutions without which mere elections were moot or worse. In
moments, they put forth ideas without strategies, policies without process,wishes without means.”
