Chapter 6 argues that television allows politicians to caption their words with images, thereby uniting two very powerful persuasive media. Jamieson looks at how Reagan managed to accomplish this task in his rhetoric. Try to extend this kind of analysis to the media coverage of a more recent president—George W. Bush. What images do the news media use when depicting Bush? Think about the often-repeated image of Bush staring out the window of Air-Force One to survey the damage done by Katrina (http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/pictures/WAS713D.htm [1]), or the image of Bush at the site of the WTC attacks, speaking through a bullhorn, or the image of him declaring the end of major combat operations in Iraq in front of the now famous “mission accomplished” banner (http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/10/28/mission.accomplished/ [2]). How do news media stories caption these images with words, and how does that captioning relate to what Jamieson sez about using words and pictures together?
