Abstract
Chapter 5 explores the dynamics of globalization and network news media. Our previous exploration of antebellum representations of African Americans provides context for our close reading of the 2007–2008 presidential primaries. A religious reading of a political race provides insight into how religion was framed during the 2008 and 2012 presidential primaries. The chapter culminates with case studies that examine the religious framing of the president—specifically, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright debacle and rumors that then Sen. Obama is secretly a Muslim.
