Analysis Of The Article ' Gop Fox Circus Act ' By Reed Richardson

Having served nearly thirty years at CBS News, Mr. Goldberg had earned a reputation as one of the most original writers and thinkers in broadcast journalism. However, when he observed his own industry, he realized the liberal media had completely missed their mission to give honest news. After years of sharing his observations and promoting more balanced reportings, Goldberg soon realized that no one listened because they believed they were doing the right thing. The liberal bias continued, therefore Bernard Goldberg decided to take the situation into his own hands and expose the distortion of the media himself. Goldberg’s breathtaking and shocking best seller book, Bias, reveals the close-mindedness of the news culture and their mission to entertain rather than share facts.

Since announcing his candidacy for president, Trump has created an even bigger name for himself dominating the news. And since Trump had decided to skip the last Republican debate aired on Fox News a few weeks ago, Trump had sent a message to Fox News showing his dominance over any event. Fox News may be able to afford giving digs at Trump, but because it is a Republican based network Fox News could not afford and would see much rating loss if they made a decision to drop Trump. What Is A Trump Republican? Donald’s personal attack strategy a new frontier for GOP candidates, the headline of a story Fox News released describing about a Trump Republican an outsider. The article is not bashing Trump the entire time, but the interviews included talk about why Trump is not ready to be president. During a TV interview in February, Trump mentioned the Pope’s unbelief with the danger the United States has with Mexico. Instantly, the news broke. CNN released a story headlined Really, Donald Trump? A Fight With The Pope? Fox News released a story shortly after headlining Trump: Pope will wish I was president when ISIS hits Vatican. Both news networks focus the story on the interview with Trump, but both in different ways are attacking Trump, portraying him an evil man. CNN does this by correlating Trump bad

A liberal is a person that believes that the government should provide equality for all, while a conservative is a person that believes in limited government and that the government should provide the necessary freedom for people to pursue their own goals. Over time, it has been argued, mostly by conservatives, that there is a liberal bias in the media. Liberals have combated this idea with the belief that conservative media is devoted to making efforts to invoke fear and division in the general public. Though liberals make a fine counter-argument, it is easier to observe that the media is liberal-biased. The liberal versus conservative debate can be compared to facts versus values. Another reason for bias within the media is that a significant percentage of minorities, or smaller groups within the population that are often thought to be poorer, politically identify themselves as liberals. To make these minorities feel like the government is on their side as well as everyone else’s, the media must accommodate the needs of these minorities. Because of this, the media becomes liberal-biased.

Hosts, reporters, and commentators dug at President Trump and his administration in almost every single story aired over the course of an hour and a half. MSNBC host Rachel Maddow eluded that Trump’s alleged ties with Russia “will come out soon,” but she omitted the word alleged, a move that could trigger a slander lawsuit. This framing by both MSNBC and Fox advance a political agenda. If a media consumer were to watch only one of these outlets, that consumer would hear only one view on the world. I believe these partisan outlets can cause closed-mindedness and advocate against those with different beliefs to work together.

A Washington Times story last week screamed, “Americans increasingly seeking media outlets that confirm pre-existing partisan views.” The Public Policy Polling people recently found Republicans only trust Fox News while Democrats trust any news other than

In an article titled “The Fox News Effect: Media Bias and Voting,” it is addressed that towns and regions that air Fox News do indeed have an impact in elections, and that the impact is in favor of the Republican party. “We find a significant effect of the introduction of Fox News on the vote share in Presidential elections between 1996 and 2000. Republicans gain 0.4 to 0.7 percentage points in the towns which broadcast Fox News. The results are robust to town-level controls, district and county fixed effects, and alternative specifications. We also find a significant effect of Fox News on Senate vote share and on voter turnout. Our estimates imply that Fox News convinced 3 to 8 percent of its viewers to vote Republican.” (DellaVigna &

MSNBC’s audience are liberals and democrats who care greatly about saving the environment from global warming. Many of the viewers appear to be both in the middle and left wing who are everyday people who were raised in a more progressive era. Meanwhile, viewers of Fox News are diehard conservatives who believe wholeheartedly that climate change is a tactic orchestrated by liberals to take away their political powers. In a sense, it appears as though Fox News appeals to older and predominantly white, rich males who grew up before the progressive era. Fox News expressed their personal testimony more openly, which allows them to deflect the attention of the audience away from the issue, while MSNBC sticks to the topic at hand and supplies a plethora of statistics for their audience. Fox News logos and pathos appeal is more effect than MSNBC because they make statements that disturb viewers peace of minds. However, MSNBC is clearly more effective in winning over their audience due to the highly educated commentators they use to make their point across. It is apparent after the examination of these four transcripts that broadcast networks apply their own bias opinions into a form of current events that is supposed to remain unbiased and

“Fair and balanced” is the slogan for Fox News. Tim Dickinson, the author of “How Roger Ailes Built the Fox News Fear Factory The onetime Nixon operative has created the most profitable propaganda machine in history. Inside America’s Unfair and Imbalanced Network,” couldn’t disagree more. Dickinson, in criticism of Fox News, quotes Roger Ailes, the founder of the news network by saying that “Forget all the facts and figures, and move to the offense as quickly as possible” would serve as a more appropriate slogan. (Dickinson, ’11 p.7) In short the author feels that Ailes is “cleverly camouflaging political propaganda as independent journalism.”(Dickinson, ’11 p. 2)

The national media is instrumental in allowing the electorate to develop opinions about contemporary issues. The media is incredibly influential and its power can be wielded for the benefit of all, or it can become a detriment to society. Some media outlets seek to sensationalize the news, sacrificing informing voters in favor of the bottom line. It is through people and organizations who seek to provide the most accurate and impartial view of an event that popular sovereignty gains much of its power. A commitment to informing the public, even when the information conflicts with a writer’s social and political philosophy, can be a difficult one to maintain. Yet, reporters uphold it everyday. This can be seen in the news site CNN (Cable News Network), which is known for having a liberal bias. Despite said bias, it does not shy away from portraying Hillary Clinton, a democrat, as a flawed candidate in an effort to be unbiased. Such a commitment is essential to creating a political and social dialogue in our nation, and as the saying goes, “when dialogue fails, democracy fails.”

Let’s see, FOX philosophy; Republican party is the only true rulers of this nation. Democrats are socialists. Homosexuality is bad. Organized religion is good, except when the pope speaks out. Gretchen Carlson is rebellious and does not follow the directions of the master of FOX. Black people and other minority groups should not own weapons while (angry) white people can. A black president is a error in history and will not be spoken off again.

First released in 2012, the book uncovers the extremism of the Republican Party. The tandem of Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein, experts in their respective studies are keen to issues that plagued American politics. Mann and Ornstein are two individuals who beliefs fall on opposing sides of the political spectrum in America. In particular, Ornstein is a resident scholar of the American Enterprise Institute, a powerful conservative think tank and writing contributor to Roll Call, a conservative newspaper. In the event of critics, Ornstein gives a refreshing take on the issues in contemporary American politics. During the past several decades the Republican Party has taken a sharp right turn without looking back. It did not help that the constant comparison of Republican actions to their counterparts Democrats is wrong, as the latter is anything but like the former. Clearly, many, not all were blind to the fact that Republican leaders craved the comparison because it normalizes their reckless behavior. In fact, the coverage gave further credence in their plan and allowed for far more egregious acts under the “Republican spirit”. However, the authors correctly acknowledge the issues that are hindering the political system from reaching its maximum potential and offer solutions in the latter portion of the book to remedy

Often media broadcasters tend to lean to this side, therefore giving them the image of being liberally bias. Chris Mathews and Keith Oberman from MSNBC are two examples of broadcasters that have been accused of delivering their news with a liberal twist to it. Journalists tend to vote on the liberal side of situations, but still say that while they are on the job they only tell the news in the fairest way and the way that will be least offensive as well as respectful to who it will be presented. In many cases however, this report can come out with an oddly left sided tone (thatliberalmedia.com). Since 1991 when Katie Couric became co-host of NBC’s Today Show, she has used her powerful spot in the media to praise significant liberal figures such as Hillary Clinton and Jimmy Carter. At the same time however, Couric has never been shy about complaining about “right winged conservatives”

I chose these outlets to develop a further understanding of the bias in national media. In A Social-Science Perspective on Media Bias, Tim Groseclose and Jeffrey Milyo present their findings as evidence that the majority national news outlets, where the brunt of Americans get their news, have an obvious liberal bias that they believe “influences both public opinion and voting behavior (305)”. Both cities of these publications, Los Angeles and Washington D.C. have a stereotype of being extremely liberal. Washington D.C. was called the most liberal city in the U.S. in a recent Gallup poll in 2014 (Swift 2014). However, location is not the sole factor of ideology. I researched this by comparing the two publications and based my understand of these

Need not any affirmation, FOX News originated with the objectives of promoting Republican Party and influencing citizens’ beliefs. Undoubtedly, in order to achieve such goals, there are many techniques FOX News has taken full advantages of since its establishment. In 2004, OutFOXed was released, a documentary based on prior knowledge of former FOX workers and relevant events surrounding FOX, provided audience an entire and clearly better view on this popular network. First and foremost, FOX appeals to the audience visually by using polling graphics and music. Slogans, such as “Fair and Balance” and “We Report, You Decide”, have proven to be very effective in gaining viewers.

To begin with, Outfoxed is a documentary film that came into being as a result of the progressive and continuous work of the Filmmakerright, that is, the wing views. It clearly documents the fact that Fox News has continually engaged in what amounts to consumer fraud by extensively airing bias ideas of the conservatives. This contravenes the right of the people to be informed in a balanced perspective. Importantly, the film gives detailed review and examination of the growth and expansion of Murdoch’s media empire; it does this by looking at the pros and cons of having media ownership in the hands of few individuals like Murdoch. Critically, the film argues that putting media ownership in the hands of an individual is disastrous as it is likely
