Bipartisanship of US journalism on the example of media coverage of the 2022 midterm election
Strnad, David ; Just, Petr (advisor) ; Charvát, Jakub (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the relationship between American media and politics, particularly the partisan leaning of mainstream US media towards Republicans or Democrats.

It was necessary to include terms from political theory for completeness of the studied phenomenon which in itself is influenced by both media and politics. The thesis also draws on the hypothesis presented in Four Theories of the Press arguing that media reflect the social and therefore political system in which they operate. Hence, terms as media bias, agenda-setting or framing are accompanied by descriptions of a two-party system or the study of a general relationship between politics and the media. The thesis also offers overviews of the historical development of American politics and the media's relationship towards partisanship.

Third Parties and their programs in the US Political System
Chejn, Tomáš ; Kotábová, Věra (advisor) ; Dopieralla, Jakub (referee)
In the thesis we are going to examine phenomenon of american political system, the third parties and their agenda. The United States are a typical example of presidentialism and two-party system therefore the third parties are quite ignored topic. Even though, in some occasions, they are quite capable to stir up the results of presidential elections or to have an effect on the change in agenda of major political parties and, according to annual research by Gallup, 60 % of american citizens are inclined to the idea of strong third party in american politics. In our research we are going to concentrate on five american third parties and their agenda. The research is based on the theoretical approach to american major parties, which are, due to bipartism and first-past-the-post election system, forced to spread extent of their agenda to reach for large voter support in very diverse electorate. Third parties on the other hand are typical with their focus on a specific issue, usually ignored by both major parties. Our hypothesis states, that if third parties want to reach for relevant size of electorate support, their agenda should have, besides the distinctive issue, similar extent as the major parties agenda. Also, if they want to reach for attention of electorate with their distinctive issue, it...
