PART ONE (ONE PAGE LONG USE ONLY THE SOURCES ATTACHED NO OTHER SOURCES SHOULD BE USED):
Consider the role and impact of Public Relations in the Brett Kavannaugh nomination process. Supreme Court hearings in recent years have been impacted by party-line politics. Kavannaugh’s hearing was further impacted by social movements, particularly #MeToo, in media and society. Given these factors, answer the following:

What type of media spin was necessary by Republicans and the political right to protect Kavannaugh throughout the process?
How did spin on the political left and by Democrats differ?
What level of critical thinking and media literacy should audiences apply to best understand situations like these?

Instructions
Scholarship into gender and sex bias in the US political system may provide potential explanations of the impact of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump as gendered entities in the 2016 election. Further, there has been a marked increase in women candidates for political office since that campaign. There are several possible factors, based on research, including but not limited to:

A highly visible gender gap is evident in the United States political system. The numbers of women serving in elected and judicial office in US politics hovers around 20% of total elected officials at all levels of local, state, and federal government prior to the 2018 mid-term races. This is a marked increase from a few decades ago, when numbers were much lower, or a century ago when only a few women were elected officials anywhere in the nation.
Women in the US have historically been consistently less likely than men to actively participate in political processes, such as political organization membership, letter writing and other outreach campaigns, and making campaign contributions. Some studies contradict this, and indicate women are now more likely to participate, but primarily in higher levels (i.e. federal rather than local levels) of government. Women’s voter turnout, however, now parallel’s men’s. 
Stereotypes of femininity vs stereotypes associated with strong political leadership indicate that public expectations of a woman may clash with ideals associated with politicians. 
Concepts of emotionality vs rationality that have historically been associated with women and men, respectively, may still be a factor. This ties into the hysterization of the female body, and beliefs that women and men are therefore suited to different gender roles. 
Men are more likely to interrupt other speakers, and more likely to bluntly tell someone to stop talking. This ties into Tannen’s rapport and report forms of communication, but also illustrates some arguments reflective of different conversational and rhetorical norms associated with the public and private spheres. 
Consider these and other possible gender and sex cultural biases that may have played a role in the 2016 election and the 2018 mid-terms. How much do you feel these impacted campaign rhetoric and mediation? How did they influence audience reception?
