President Trump's Honesty Media

Countless people have criticized Fox News and CNN for political bias, but recently outrage to media bias has resulted in lasting negative consequences far beyond years prior. Donald Trump has convinced a significant amount of his base to distrust the mainstream media, as evidenced by a Quinnipiac poll that reveals 5 in 10 likely voters believe the media is biased against him (Harper). This number jumps to an incredible 9 in 10 with Republicans. Trump supporters have refused to view media they perceive to be biased, even going so far to chant “CNN sucks!” at a rally in Pennsylvania (“10,000 Trump Supporters”). The resentment of a few news outlets affects not only those news outlets, but how the dissenters perceive the world as a whole. When

Most of the coverage of crime during this period reflected those political interests and loyalties rather than mere facts. The stories were written on a dramatic style more suitable for a novel than a newspaper. Protest of objectivity and accuracy were made, but these were understood to be mere theatrical camouflage for the editorial opinions sown throughout most news stories. The media can be biased towards both liberals and conservatives. Some conservatives argue that liberal journalists tend to attach their own liberal beliefs in the news they report, while liberal journalist insist that they stay neutral and report news without any bias. Others will argue that conservative reporters take minor things, embellish it, or blow it to mythical proportions. According to Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them by Al Franken, right- wing journalist used this tactic to cripple Clinton's presidency, discredit Gore, and to put Bush into office. The media should present their news in an unbiased way to allow viewers to form their own views. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The media often shows its bias, their widespread exposure enables them to communicate their ideas to the public regardless of the public responsiveness. In an article in the New York Times, President Trump called the news media "the enemy of the American people," In interviews around the country Americans of verifying political affiliations,

In New Hampshire in 2016, President Trump said in regards to the news media that "They're scum. They're horrible people. They are so illegitimate.” Having been quoted multiple times referring to the journalists and reporters in a similarly negative manner, President Trump apparently has diminished the nation’s trust in the press. The Trump administration is also notorious for barring certain news organizations, from access to events. In response to blocking prominent news organizations, including CNN and The New York Times, from attending a question and answer session with Press Secretary Sean Spicer, NPR wrote that “the relationship between the Trump administration and the news media has taken another step backwards.” By excluding typically adversary news organizations and including typically supportive news organizations, some argue that the Trump administration is inhibiting freedom of the press and prohibiting the truthful spread of information. On the other hand, it can be argued that adversary news organizations may distort events and quotes, causing unnecessary confusion and misguided

Presented by Professor Derigan Silver and Libby Pinkerton, A graduate student at the University of Denver, the Seminar on the Supreme Court focuses on the effect of media framing on the legitimacy and power of the court. Framing, defined as “…how something is presented to the audience (called “the frame”) influences the choices people make about how to process that information.”(XXX) is explained to be one of the main ways media alters the way the public perception of an issue or controversial court case. By selectively covering the issue or case being discussed, the media can purposely omit facts or views presented that greatly change the realty of the subject. The main issue with omitting a single or multiple views in favor of emphasizing

Throughout the years the media has played a huge role in the media. They put an image out on how they want candidates to seem. Overall that affects how the voters view the election. Most of the time, voters only based their reasoning behind what they see in the media, and do not even look at the true facts. Donald Trump was someone one who was already in the media, they had its perks and downfalls. With him already being in the media, anything “horrible’’ that he did in the past would haunt him for the whole election, but since he already had fame it helped. Hillary kind’ve got that attention too, since she was the first lady a few years back. Knowing all this, and having the media put it out in a different way affects the elections.

On January 28th, Donald Trump refused to attend the Fox News Republican debate as a result of his ongoing feud with anchor Meghan Kelly. Interestingly enough, Trump´s call damaged Fox, more than it hurt his campaign. The truth is, the media needs Trump and vice versa. Trump is an entertainer, and news organizations can only thrive when they have high ratings and high readership. The problem arises when the discussion in the media is

Although I don’t believe that all forms of media are attempting to influence public perception on court cases, there are certainly “bad actors” that place a higher emphasis on certain cases in an effort to strengthen the narrative of a “clash of cultures”

Whatever your opinion on Donald Trump, I am sure that you were unable to avoid the media coverage over the last week regrading his inauguration. I always tend to watch as much of these things as possible, after all it is history in the making and it is something I will be able to share with Joseph and Victoria when they are older.

Media is the main means of mass communication that reaches or influences people widely in ways such as broadcasting, publishing, and the internet. The power of the media is extraordinary and can be extremely vital to one’s success. A single news company’s views or portrayal of particular information has the capability of shedding a negative light upon someone to a massive audience. If there is one person who has experienced the gruesome reality of the media and all its harsh criticism and power, that person is President Donald Trump. Not only has the media bashed on Trump and illustrated him in a negative fashion time and time again, but also, he continues to engross himself in the publicity, attempting to use the media to his benefit. There comes a point where enough is enough and Trump should stop caring so much about how the media presents him, however, President Trump has already

“Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome president-elected Donald Trump.” said the reporter on the news. The news made me think to me more than I thought it would. I looked at everything from Twitter to Facebook. I thought about all the things that influence news and social media. Everything that has mentioned about Trump and Clinton. There’s Trump saying how the media is inadequate and how they manipulate the truth. There’s Clinton, who the media likes to talk about her emails.

When I look at a future with Trump as President, I see catastrophe. Now, we’re left with the last runner-up, which is another unappealing option, Hilary Clinton, who is a liar, untrustworthy, dishonest and unforthcoming. Not only has Hillary had some secrecy, but in a addition to her lack of honesty she is also known for allegedly freeing a child rapist. Unfortunately, in this day in age it’s extremely hard to really find any truth behind these headlines. Growing up I’m sure everyone has heard the phrase “believe nothing of what you hear, half of what you see.” Consider what we actually hear for ourselves or see for ourselves, with all these allegations and then there justifications… wait, we don’t see or hear any of it for ourselves. This is why I think politics are down right a crock of you know what. In my conclusion to the people’s vote and the current candidates is they both will more than likely do no justice and ultimately it will be the electoral college that holds that final vote. Therefore, I will be home on November 8th, 2016 enjoying my day

Beliefs are shaped by the information that forms them. In this era, acquiring information is easier than at any other time in history. Limitless information creates a powerful opportunity that if wielded correctly accomplishes tasks the world has never imagined before. Yet, this powerful tool has created more threats than imagined. Rarely do individuals ever check the origin of their information. Instead they take the bombardment of information received each day from the media as fact without question or hesitation because they see the media as a credible source, something that has inherent checks and balances. That level of trust is then applied to the interpretation of that information. Donald Trump, an American businessman, television personality, author, politician, and nominee of the Republican Party for President of the United States in the 2016 election, uses his voters’ misinformation to his advantage. For instance, when Trump gives his opinions on a subject, the voters automatically apply trust to the opinions, neither thinking about what they actually believe about it nor do they take into account the biases held by the Trump on the subject. This level of trust held by the voters does not end here but proceeds on to the conclusion of the event based solely on his interpretations. As a result, not only do the viewers lack their own interpretations, but they don’t form their own conclusions either. Consequently, he uses rhetoric to effectively manipulate his

Much of American life is guided by the influx of information received from the media. This results in the ability of the media to shape or mold the opinions of American society. Media is used in numerous areas concerning politics. “Without the media’s investigations, citizens would be forced to rely entirely on the information provided by politicians and the government, and would be deprived of an indispensable opportunity to evaluate issues carefully and form reasoned opinions” (Ginsberg 251). Through careful analysis of articles written on the media’s influence on politics in America, it became evident that the media greatly controls American political opinions.

"Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one." This quote by A.J. Liebling illustrates the reality of where the media stands in today's society. Over the past twenty years there has been an increase in power throughout the media with regard to politics. The media's original purpose was to inform the public of the relevant events that occurred around the world. The job of the media is to search out the truth and relay that news to the people. The media has the power to inform the people but often times the stories given to the public are distorted for one reason or another. Using slant and sensationalism, the media has begun to shape our views in society and the process by which

It took a supercomputer 2,274 speeches made by President Barack Obama from the year 2009 to the year 2014 recorded by 275 different media sources in order to determine which sources were biased (Ehrenberg). Imagine an average human trying to determine whether a specific media source should be trusted or not. All of these media sources use information in order to sell an idea. The media’s records of these speeches could include a biased opinion on President Obama’s presidency. American’s perception of reality is drastically altered due to media bias. Media bias is defined as “the bias of journalists and news producers within the mass media” (“Media Bias Law…”). Media bias has been apparent since
