Polarization is not uncommon in the world of politics. In this modern age though, a few scandals over here, a tad of exposés over there, and a few unwise comments will have the public foaming at the mouth in a short notice. The power of media is not to be underestimated, especially if a politician is gunning for higher office. The case in point here is the Democrats. Animosity between Obama’s camp and Hillary’s wing has created a rift within the party as both presidential hopefuls revved to gain the party’s nomination. Obama’s battle cry, as the media suggested was, “Vote for me! I am black!” while Clinton’s was “I will be the first woman president!” As the media projected such images of both candidates, the rift got wider and deeper. Voters were equally divided too. The black populace rallied to support Obama (headed by Oprah Winfrey and Denzel Washington) while feminists groups gathered under Clinton. As the race for the presidential nomination winded down, both senators vowed to support whoever would win. But being so polarized, most supporters from both camps stated they would vote for the other side should their favorite lose the race. The media has managed to over-polarize the Democratic Party’s nominees, this much is certain. And with much mileage power on their hands, they can continue polarizing other issues and other figures as well. As Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times said, “On an ordinary news day, CNN is like a sip of iced tea. Fox News is a gulp of Jolt Cola.”
