Media Culture and Spectacle in Contemporary U.S. and Global Politics -- Grand Theft 2000: Media Spectacle and the Crisis of the U.S. Electoral System in 2000 Presidential Election Bush vs. Gore -- 9/11, Spectacles of Terror, and Media Manipulation: A Critique of Jihadist and Bush Media Politics -- Media Spectacle, Insurrection and the Crisis of Neoliberalism from the Arab Uprisings to Occupy Everywhere -- Barack Obama, the Power Elite and Media Spectacle -- The Trump Horror Show, Authoritarian Populism, and the Assault on U.S. Democracy -- Autocracy, Militarism, and Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu's Spectacles of Terror and War -- Media Spectacle and U.S. Democracy at Stake in Harris vs Trump -- The Failure of US Democracy and Triumph of Autocracy.

This book offers an original analysis of the primacy of media spectacle in the politics, social history, and major events of the 21st century which highlights the importance of critical analysis and interpretation of broadcasting, the Internet, and social meaning in understanding the key historical events and the multiple factors that produce them during the contemporary era. The text explores how broadcasting and digital media constitute the major media spectacles of our time and how they in turn present the key issues, challenges, conflicts, and problems of the present era. Thus understanding broadcasting and digital media help us to understand our contemporary society, politics, and culture and to play a more active role in understanding and participating in our contemporary media societies and environments. Kellner argues throughout for the need for critical media and digital literacies to empower students and citizens to become active participants in our media society and technoculture and to understand the key events and challenges of contemporary life. Douglas Kellner has been researching, writing about, and lecturing upon the major topics and studies in this book for the last several decades and this book brings together key aspects of his work on theorizing, analyzing, and evaluating the role of effects of major media spectacles of the 21st century. The author Douglas Kellner works at the intersection of "third generation" critical theory in the tradition of the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research, or Frankfurt School and in cultural studies in the tradition of the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies. He has just retired after over fifty years of University teaching from the George Kneller Chair in the Philosophy of Education in the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles.
