Seeing Red

Most of us have seen a newspaper before; lots of us read them to find out about the important events going on in our society. Newspapers are supposed to give us an unbiased factual report of these events, but that isn’t always the case. Newspapers can make certain events seem more important and more consequential than other events. This happened during the Palmer Raids of the early 1920’s. Newspapers made the Palmer Raids more prevalent and Anti-Communist feelings stronger among the American public during the 1920’s.
To understand how the media escalated the Red Scare and Palmer Raids it helps to have a brief history of them. After World War I there was a Red Scare among many Americans. There are many explanations for this: rampant inflation, a tough job market, strikes, race riots, and the public’s need for a scapegoat (Duminel 218). When Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer’s home was bombed he immediately believed it was the Communists and went after all of them. In November of 1919, and December of 1920 the U.S. Department of Justice under Palmer’s direction conducted raids in a number of prominent cities (Remelgas 3). Many persons were arrested without warrants, and without being given proper rights. Over five thousand people were arrested, and a total of two hundred and forty nine people were deported (Remelgas 4). After these raids and unlawful arrests, Palmer was called before the House Rules Committee and Senate Judiciary Committee and convicted of using Government funds in an improper way causing the end of the first Red Scare.
In journalism there are certain standards used to draw attention to certain articles. Alexandra Remelgas states:
The standards of responsible journalism are useful in examining the press coverage of the Palmer Raids. Standards of responsible journalism are limited by the selection of and emphasis of news items… The position of a news item on the page the amount of space allotted to the item; the use of illustrations; prominent heading and type size are factors of affecting the emphasis of a news item. (18-19)
These “standards of journalism” were used to draw attention to articles in the press containing Anti-Communist or Palmer Raid information. A large headline across the front of The New York Times reads, in large bold print, “REDS PLOTTED COUNTRY-WIDE STRIKE ARRESTS EXCEED 5,000, 2,635 HELD; THREE TRANSPORTS READY FOR THEM” (Jan.4 1980: 1). Following that large headline there are four different articles having to do with the Palmer Raids and Anti-communism, each with it’s own individual headline. Talk about trying to draw attention to something. The Detroit Free Press contributed to the Anti-Communist craze stating, “CHIEF OF U.S. ANARCH HUNT FINDS REDS HAVE RUN INTO HOLES” (Jan.6 1920: 1). This was also printed in large bold face letters, but this time with the addition of a photo of a chief of the red hunts William J. Davis next to the article. These headlines don’t just report the news, they shout out to us, letting the readers know what the “important” stories are. These Headlines call our attention to the terrors of Communism, and our country’s success at defeating it. In the Detroit Free Press Magazine a story entitled Mopping Up Bolshevism Major American Red Cross Committee to South Russia (Davis 1) is spread across the entire first page and accompanied by a large illustration of Russian soldiers and peasant women. Right next to this terror story of communism in Russia the is a poem titled Heaven on Earth where the first verse reads:
Here’s the time of mirth and laughter
Not in some far off hereafter,
Here’s the land of smiling faces
Not in strange and distant places,
Which perhaps they’ll see tomorrow
In a world where there’s no sorrow,
Here’s the land where men are blest
And where they achieve their best. (Guest 2)
Looking at above standards of journalism it is obvious that his poem about the wonderful United States was placed next to the article on Communism in Russia for the purpose of contrasting the terrible communist Russia to the great democratic United States. The headings, font size, and placing of articles in a newspaper imply their importance to the reader. The way this was done with articles on the Palmer Raids and Anti-Communism causes the reader to believe that these are the most important topics of the day.
The impact of these articles was not based solely on where they were placed or their headlines, but the effect they has also had a lot to do with the content. The papers all seemed to be biased toward our government and A. Mitchell Palmer. This doesn’t come as a big surprise though considering that anyone who spoke poorly of our government was being arrested. Newspaper articles all seemed to greatly exaggerate the horrors of a communist society. When speaking of a newly Communist controlled hospital in Russia, Robert Davis states:
The new independence demoralized the nurses, particularly the night shifts. They had the right to receive men visitors in their rooms at night. Nurses left their duties at will. The dressings of wounded soldiers were changed only once in three days. (Davis 1-2)
As though communism makes women promiscuous, and notice how they neglected the patriotic soldiers, the same article describes a group of communist officers as “five dirty looking men”. Again, a very derogatory and untrue statement, Communists aren’t dirtier looking people than any other political party. An article in The New York Times warns us that:
Radical Leaders planned to develop the recent steel and coal strikes into a general strike and ultimately into a revolution to overthrow the government according to information gathered by federal agents in Friday nights wholesale round up of members of the Communist and Communist Labor party. (Jan. 4 1980: 1)
The newspapers would have us believe that members of the Communist party are evil, promiscuous, and dirty people who are out to ruin our way of life. It’s no wonder that the Red Scare and the Palmer Raids got so out of hand.
Through placement of articles, headlines, size of print, and even exaggeration the newspapers helped to convince us that the Palmer Raids and the Red Scare were the most important events going on in 1919 and 1920. The country would have still had Anti-Communist feelings, and the Palmer Raids probably would have still occurred without the newspapers, but they would not have been such strong prevalent issues in our society if the newspapers hadn’t covered them the way they did.
