John Stewart Daily Show Analysis

In his essay “But Enough about You” Brian Williams addresses a very interesting issue about the user- generated media and the Mainstream media in today's society. He believes that the ideal American culture has changed because people are only concerned about themselves. Nowadays people are more interested to watch news if the implied message involves them or if it's good enough to tell someone else. Williams explains how all the new devices, the web, video and the digital cable fill a perceived people need. Therefore, many people are not interesting in reading newspaper or watching news in which it leads the Media to lose viewers. He emphasizes that the audiences that follows the news report are dropped, but the media still work hard to gathering

The article points out the attention this year’s election had caused. Both the republican and democratic party caused much of an uproar in America, however the use of rhetoric in democracy brought a lot of people together. The “Anti-Trump Movement” really caught the world’s attention. This small movement of those not in favor of Trump turned into a nation-wide phenomenon. With the use of protest and those standing together believe in the same idea were able to move many. The article uses anti-Trump undertones that make that article feel a bit biased. However, there are many anti-Trump movements that express the same concern and dissatisfaction. These people participating in the movement used signs as their rhetoric symbol to fight for unfair minimum-wage rates, black lives matter ideals, Muslim parties, Latino parties, Planned Parenthood supporters, and more the article named. These people were not focused on race, religion, gender, etc.; they all came together through the use of rhetoric to fight for something that they strongly believe in. I find that this is a great example of how rhetoric in democracy is used and I know will continue to be used for a very long

The argument made by Katie Reilly in Donald Trump Blames ‘Thugs’ for Cancelled Chicago Rally is that violence is a growing issue in the already-tense political environment within the United States. More specifically, Reilly argues that protesters, who are against Trump and his political views, along with supporters have viciously battled each other, physically, during several Trump-hosted rallies. She writes, “Trump’s rallies have been targeted by protesters throughout his campaign and have increasingly been marked by violence.” In this passage, Reilly suggests that supporters, and even Trump, himself, are encouraging violence, thus instigating activists to perform extreme actions – such as shutting down one of his rallies through an organized,

Donald J. Trump has probably become what is known as the most controversial political figure and President in the history of the United States of America. With all of the negative rhetoric and promises that he made during the campaign trail, as well as the suspicion surrounding his path to 270 on election night 2016, many people have banded together to protest his administration. At first being only a large number of disgruntled voters, those protesting Trump’s Administration have grown into a solid counter-movement to the one that he managed to sweep the United States away with.

First Edward Murrow started his career with CBS and was with them for 14 years (Biography.com, 2017). As a matter of fact, Edward Murrow career started when he lives “London, England” for two years (Biography.com, 2017, 2). In an event that happen Edward Murrow “risked his life” to report a bombing in London (Biography.com Editors, 2017, 2). As a result, Edward Murrow work from shelter covering this story so the audience would be on their toes wanting to know what happen next (Biography.com Editors, 2017). Although, Edward Murrow was a tremendous newscaster he was not known until 1951 where he star in “See it Now” (Biography.com Editors, 2017, 3). In fact, Edward Murrow did not believe in communist like Senator McCarthy (Biography.com Editors, 2017). In reality Murrow told a story about a “soldier who was removed from the military for being a security risk” (Biography.com, 2017, 3). Owing to, this Murrow showed “McCarthy for the bully that he was using McCarthy’s own words” (Biography.com Editors, 2017, 3). Edward Murrow was not going to show fear he was sticking up for what he believes in. However, Edward Murrow had a soft spot in his heart interviewing a “person to a person” (Biography.com Editors, 2017, 4). Regardless Edward Murrow did whatever it took to make is audience, entertain any if that meant jeopardizing his life for his

Since taking over on September 28th, my fellow South African has brought a new perspective to TDS without deviating from the format that propelled Jon Stewart and the show to previously unheard of heights. While some speculated he’d bring a more

After watching the Daily Show interview with Jim Cramer, I believe that Jon Stewart’s questions were fair as he was trying to get Cramer to confess CNBC’s faults during the financial crisis and his contributions to them. One instance of this was Stewart calling out CNBC for creating an unrealistic image of the market by covering up the embezzlement scandals and failing to expose the actions of those behind it, despite their frequent interview appearances. I agree with Stewart in this argument as CNBC put themselves in a tight corner by merely addressing the situation and stating the obvious instead of taking action in order to preserve their reputation as a “financial expert”. Cramer’s responses illustrate this point as he admits that while

Murrow worked for CBS as an American radio news correspondent covering World War II. He experienced first hand the Blitz on London, the bombing of the city by the Germans on September 7, 1940. Late nights or early mornings, Murrow constantly broadcast in London. “‘He lived on coffee and cigarettes,’ Janet, Murrow’s wife, remembered” (Kendrick, p. 202). He

Walter Leland Cronkite, Jr. was an American broadcast journalist who was born November 4, 1916 in St. Joseph, Missouri. He was famous for his anchorman role for CBS Evening News, “his style [was] honesty, impartiality and level-headedness, and “And that's the way it is” was his jaunty nightly sign-off.” (Biography.com Editors) Cronkite reported several breaking news stories, especially during World War II bombings, Nuremberg trials, Vietnam War updates, Iran Hostage Crisis, and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Cronkite’s ability to present the facts while also including his emotion into his reports led him into becoming “the most trusted man in America”. (IMBD)

After many night with my head stuck in a book. I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Deciding to shut things down early and watch some television. The program was titles, “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver”, I had overheard some co-workers discussing the program, but had limited knowledge of what the program was about. It turns out that the program is a satire news program. On this night, the main topic was, “food waste”. It was a thought provoking topic as it gave some very interesting facts about what happens to most of the food in this country. It was entertaining as it made fun of the usual suspects of celebrities and political figures. This prompted to look throughout the internet for more segments of the show. Unlike most satire news, this week tonight has found a way to reformat bringing trustworthy, fact packed, fun, and entertaining segments into the public view.

David Letterman claims that “Everyone has a purpose in life…”, and I strongly agree with him. I assume, “A life without purpose is like a journey without destination” (Mridha).

John Oliver is the host on the HBO show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. During these videos John Oliver uses mainly logical appeal to get his point across. He also makes emotional and ethical appeals but, the one that sticks out to me most is the logical appeals. His videos are usually fifteen to twenty minutes long and cover broad topics. The video I decided to talk about was about student debt. Through out the video Oliver uses statistics, humor, and videos to help get his point across.

In high school, my two years’ experience of learning from a veteran broadcaster, professor Wang at Guizhou TV gave me much exposure to the journalism field. When we first met, he asked me, “Yahan, since you have strong passion for journalism, what do you think of the value of news?” “Today’s news will be history tomorrow and maybe we cannot find its value now, but it will definitely become the most valuable historical reference,” I replied seriously. It was professor Wang who initiated me into the professional areas of the television and journalism industry and introduced me to the stories of many famous Chinese TV broadcasters and journalists, such as Bai Yansong and Chai Jing. This experience was an important factor in my decision to study Journalism at China Youth University for Political Sciences (CYU).
