Meghan McCain interviews

I watched the Meghan McCain interviews from the “Daily show” with John Stewart and Fox news. Both interviews covered her new book Titled “Dirty, Sexy Elephant” , Both interviews had a lot in common before they started to differentiate. The Fox news interview was more to the point and factual based, the interview stated that the book was about her father’s fail bid to presidency and tell all book about her experience. The Fox interview shows forms of Horse Race in endorsement since they show her book before the interview, the interview is all about the book too. The interview continues to show signs of Horse Race when the interview brings up Joe Lieberman and his association to his political affiliations and how she did not like Joe Lieberman at the beginning. The Fox interview also shows he tactics, although her father is not running now she shows her tactics by not bad mouthing her father in her tall all book. McCain also shows her campaign affiliations by stating that she is a republican and votes for Romney. While the Fox show was more dry and to the point “The Daily Show” with John Stewart had many more of the elements in our graphs.
The interview on “ The Daily Show” with John Stewart and Meghan McCain has more elements that were on our chart. The interview had Hoopla since it promoted her book and shows photos on her on a elephant, it also brought up substantive coverage which is the PETA organization is angry with Meghan since her book shows photos of her on an elephant on the cover. The show brought up her opinions on Sarah Palin, and brought up campaign issues which was that she didn’t initially want Lieberman as her father’s running mate. The interview continued with substantive coverage in candidate qualifications- political position when stating that she believes in a comeback for the Republican party. The Hype that was shown in “ The Daily Show” interview was that her book essentially promotes Republican party and of what it is like to be a part of a running party. The hoopla that was in the interview is her having done the interview to promote her book and showing it on the show. The difference that the “Daily Show” and the Fox news has is that the “Daily Show” uses humor throughout the interview. John Stewart jokes with Meghan McCain when passing her a note for her father during the interview. The show isn’t a serious show for most of the time McCain and Stewart and laughing at random things that Stewart has come up with.
