Personal Narrative-I Log-Flop And So Should You

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) after his speech at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., on March 23, 2015.

Within these two popular news channels, stories and changes within the government are altered to fit the watcher’s views. While Fox News focuses on the more conservative points of view of the public, CNN places their informative stories in a more Liberal light. Fox news tends to report stories in a one-sided viewpoint, which creates a lack of space for viewers to establish an opinion of their own. CNN reports their stories in more of a broad spectrum and positive light, which allows its viewers to gain more of a perspective in problems that are persisting in today’s society. I believe that, out of Fox News and CNN, Fox News displays the most of muckraking today because it only provides one side of the story, with only personal opinions as their proof. In the past, muckraking was meant to be more a informative style of journalism but as the years went by, many people use yellow journalism as a form of entertainment and way to make money; this journalism has seemed to emerge in other ways and slowly disappear in

Conservative views can be visible on all platforms of Fox News media. Topics that were under the ‘Trending in opinions’ tab on FoxNews.com, as of January 2, 2015 at 1:34p.m, were the following “Obamas budget: Taxing Grandma to fund the AFL-CIO, Free community college? For Obama’s plan to succeed business must be part of the equation, Obamas housing recovery plan could bring another great recession, Mitt Romney was right: To win in 2016, here’s what republicans must do now” All of the ‘trending opinions’ on fox news are biased towards glorifying the republican; a more conservative party, and making the democratic party out as fools. There has and will always be a divide on conservative versus liberal ideologies, there is nothing we can change about that.

When Americans attempt to find the truth in the media, it is important Americans realize what bias each individual media platform has. In the beginning of television, there were only 3 major news channels. These news networks were: ABC, CBS, and NBC; also known as “Mainstream Media”. The mainstream media held views that aligned with American liberals and seemed to always side with this group and were the only news stations for Americans to view. Ultimately, since these were the only news outlets available, whatever views these news stations presented to its watchers, were the only opinions that the majority of Americans held. However, as time went on cable television was created and gave Americans additional news networks. In 1980, CNN debuted

Republican senator from Texas, Ted Cruz, aims to win the presidency in 2016, but before sitting in the Oval Office will have to overcome many challenges within his own party, and the rejection of numerous groups of the immigrant community. Cruz, of Cuban origin, made ​​the announcement during an event atLiberty University in Lynchburg (Virginia ), an emblematic site of the evangelical movement ."Today I'm announcing that I am running for US president. When the truth is, it's time for freedom, it is time to claim the US Constitution, "said Cruz, interrupted by loud applause of students chanted" Ted! Ted! "Thus, Cruz became the first to officially announce his candidacy, among possible candidates of both parties.

Since its inception, the United States has relied upon its people to make the decisions that would influence the course of the young nation’s political climate. One of the most influential of these decisions is the presidential election in which the people spend months deciding who should lead the country in a new direction. Each election brings about a new event subject to controversy, a different political revolution, and an electrifying candidate or two. This year will include one of the most world-altering presidential elections in the history of America, and the decision is between two tough candidates, each with his or her own baggage. In the past, America has seen some rough candidates but none

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”

The title President of the United States is a highly sought after title that has a history of gaining much attention from the media. The 2016 Presidential race is proving to be no different. With more than 8 months left until the primaries begin, candidates are proclaiming their intent to run and the media has taken a front row seat. Currently, there is only one Democratic nominee and while this candidate may be seen to receive more media attention than all of the Republican candidates combined, she is the only one in the race. The focus then turns to how each media outlet is reporting the tight race between the three current Republican nominees: Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio. From our studies in class, we are predisposed to believe

In Bernard Goldberg’s book, he talks about how the media slants the news coverage to the left. While he was working at CBS he accused the station of

Throughout his political career, Ted Cruz has had his ups and downs. I believe that because he is labeled as very conservative and religious, the very slightest stray away from these values results in public uproar.

Not trying to see what happened in Benghazi, and defending Hillary Clinton, when they should have been showing the men who died there protecting the compound. Fox news does the opposite, blaming her for it and holding her accountable for her actions, also Fox News is always the best. They have a tendency to have the right wing approach to politics. So when they look at something they will look at it from a Republican stand point. Which isn’t always the best way to view things. For example, I was watching Fox News the other day, and they had news report on recreational marijuana. When I was watching Fox News I realized that they forgot to mention all the great medical benefits of marijuana, and all they talked about was how it could “harm” younger people and how it’s bad for you. When you watch these news stations, you can figure out how they view the world by their stances on current topics. How they try to convince you that something is bad or good for you. I think that the news should be a station that you can get your news from, and not hear their political

One of the famous incidents suggesting such bias is when Donald Trump, candidate for the 2016 presidential elections in the US, accused FOX News anchor Megyn Kelly of treating him unfairly. Through social media, Trump expressed his resentment and bitterness by advocating the idea of boycotting the network. Another prominent incident that showcased the network’s discrimination is what happened back in the years between 1996 and 2000 when researchers inferred that the introduction of FOX had a significant effect on the vote share in Presidential elections. FOX news convinced a large percentage of its viewers to vote Republican. According to researchers, if FOX news was cut off or removed during that time the average republican vote share would simply

Fox New’s reporters tend to be more conservative and have an audience mostly being republicans. There will be a mention on Sean Hannity and my perspectives towards their show on Fox. In an article by Jonathon S. Morris, a study showed that fox reported “democratic nominee John Kerry to be more negative than coverage of George W. Bush” with a favor in presenting Republican over Democratic Conventions.

Her goal for The Fourth World Conference on Women was to bring attention to the inhumane injustices committed against women globally, and bring upon institutional change. Clinton successfully highlighted and bought global attention to her goal with her knowledge and use of ethos, pathos, and logos. Aristotle stated, “the ethos of a speaker is persuasive when the speech demonstrates practical wisdom, moral virtue, and goodwill toward the audience.” (Aristotle). Hilary Clinton made it clear to everyone who heard and witnessed her speech, that she understood the issues deeply, she was passionate, and devoted to the cause. “Over the past 25 years, I have worked persistently on issues relating to women, children, and families. Over the past two and a half years, I've had the opportunity to learn more about the challenges facing women in my own country and around the world.” She continued to show her knowledge and expertise to the audience. “Persuasion is achieved by the speaker’s personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think they are

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
