Why Americans Hate Welfare: Race, Media, and the Politics of Antipoverty Policy - Studies in Communication, Media, and Public Opinion
Martin Gilens
Drawing on surveys of public attitudes and analyses of more than 40 years of television and news-magazine stories on poverty, this book demonstrates how public opposition to welfare is fed by a potent combination of racial stereotypes and misinformation about the true nature of America's poor.
