Communication in the media about in the United States is complicated by the intensely ideologically polarized state of the debate surrounding the issue; moral rhetoric is an important dimension of how ideology is communicated. In this study we examined how moral rhetoric regarding this issue differs on the basis of a publicationu0027s perceived ideological lean. To address the question, we built a corpus from a diverse group of online news media that were rated for their perceived ideological lean. Using Latent Semantic Analysis we calculated the average loading for the five moral domains identified in Haidtu0027s Moral Foundations Theory (Haidt u0026 Joseph, 2004) on the terms climate change and global warming. We found that there were higher moral loadings overall for climate change with a greater difference seen among the more progressive media. |
