Abstract

A content analysis of the mainstream media's coverage of Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the time of her nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court reveals a highly sympathetic and almost totally uncritical portrayal. Further analysis of the Ginsburg coverage in liberal, conservative, and specialty publications and an analysis of Ginsburg's record as an appellate court judge brings to light a very different Ginsburg whose record is good on feminist concerns yet middling to poor on other progressive issues. Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky's propaganda model of the media and the politics of the Clinton administration are employed to interpret the radical disjuncture created by the mainstream media's disingenuous treatment of Ginsburg's legal career.
