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.

A constructive national debate is something that is quite important to the functioning of the American system of democracy. A simple definition of democracy offered by the Merriam-Webster dictionary is that democracy is “a form of government in which people choose leaders by voting” (Merriam-Webster). Now, at a time of heightened awareness from many American people, the political debates in this country don’t seem to be providing them with good cogent arguments. Instead they are filled with fallacies and many falsehoods. In this essay I argue that the presidential debate system is currently not living up to its potential, and I will focus specifically on Republican primary debate that took place at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California. In doing so, I will argue that the main flaws in this cycle’s presidential primary debates were the amount of fallacies used, as structure used as well as provide some counter-arguments to my claims.

In the article “GOP-Fox Circus Act”, Reed Richardson argues that although both the GOP and Fox have conservative political values, they are ultimately harmful to each other’s agendas because of their differing political goals. Both organizations are lacking popularity in recent years so they are struggling to find new ways to gain an audience. The GOP wants to find a way to get their ideas to a wide variety of people, whereas Fox is promoting more liberal views to increase the ratings of their programs. On one hand, the GOP’s reputation is hurt by the inaccuracy of Fox’s reporting. On the other hand, Fox is tied down by the conservative views of the GOP, thus restraining Fox from gaining a larger audience. Journalist Reed Richardson wrote this article for The National, a liberal newspaper, in 2013, so the events and issues that he is speaking of are still relevant to this day. Due to the differences of political views between the author and the subject matter, there is plenty of room for biased statements and opinions. Does Richardson provide enough evidence of the harmful effects of the Fox and GOP relationship? Richardson clearly and meticulously establishes the problems that both organizations face in the pursuit of their political goals with the use of statistics, reliable sources, and thorough evaluation of events; however Richardson constantly provides the reader with a biased argument when discussing the current state of Fox.

Newspapers attacked Jefferson relentlessly as his opponent was a federalist and he was not. However today it can be argued with the 24 hour news cycle coupled with the instant information age, candidates are more likely to be under a microscope than ever before. A quote from Sharpe shows how great the media's reach has become from where it use to be in earlier elections. “Most early newspapers were only four pages long. With half of that space often devoted to advertising, newspapers contained little that looks like “news” to the modern reader. There were no headlines and only the most rudimentary organization.”(Armonk, N.Y.: M.E. Sharpe, 2003) Unlike earlier times, today's information is easily accessible to millions of people. Take for instance when Donald Trump tweets somethen controversial which he often does, it automatically reaches millions of followers within seconds.The media now has this instant ammo to attack these candidates, and make them look unfavorable to the American public. All of the people that were interviewed in my study were well aware of the media’s bias even if they disagreed on which portion of the media was bias and which was not. When asked “which media outlets are the most bias and why?” Majority of the group named CNN, MSNBC, and FOX as the most biased news outlet. It can be said that all of the subjects were in agreeance

The last and final difficult conversation was a constructive and mind opening experience on the premise of watching and receiving news. During this conversation, my group watched 20 minutes of both MSNBC and Fox News and from there we collectively discussed it. Our first showing was watching Fox News and for me personally it felt like I was watching the tabloids or some might say a reality show. The reasoning behind my viewpoint of it was of them, the newscaster, talking for a like a good 10 minutes about donuts and their relationship between the struggle of the acting directors of Mike Mulvaney and Leandra English of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. In addition, the newscasters are still reporting about President Trump’s comment

On the third, Trump tweeted “The rigged Dem Primary, one of the biggest political stories in years, got ZERO coverage on Fake News Network TV last night. Disgraceful!”. Trump attempts to show the extent of bias in the media exposing that they didn’t report a major event. This tweet has bias towards Trump’s personal agenda against the media. Additionally, Trump exposes the strength of the media’s gatekeepers and how greatly they can impact which issues are talked about.

Political discourse I’d like to see less of is the mocking, disrespectful, accusations being thrown candidate to candidate in the political race. Facts over opinions, and an actual plan, with tangible

On this session, my classmates and I submitted our social project. It is so empowering to see how different people think of different ways to help enrich our society with positive attitudes. I am so honored to say that this class changed my heart and mind in so many levels. For example, donating blood is such a unique way to support human lives and somehow society takes this for granted. What I learned from this project also is that one does not need a lot of time to invest in helping our city to improve. We were also required to watch and discussed a movie called “A Civil Action” where ethics play an important role during the whole film. In the end, EPA found abnormalities during the lawsuit, and found guilty of multiple charges to Grace

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”

Throughout this class, I also realized there are more ethical issues than I realized. Some of these issues include human resource issues, such as privacy, discrimination, sexual harassment, performance evaluations, hiring, firing, etc. (Nelson, 2007, p. 68). Conflicts of interest are also on the list of ethical issues seen more regularly throughout the business world. Some of the issues that involve conflicts of interest are hard to recognize as ethical problems. Before taking this class, many issues that happened around my workplace were because of conflicts of interest, but I did not view them as ethical issues. Now, when these types of problems arise, I recognize the ethical issue of the problem before trying to correct it. I have gained so much knowledge throughout this course in such a brief time. Understanding ethics will ultimately help me better myself in my career and could possibly bring better opportunities my way in the future.

Janine Jackson writes in “Fair Report: 13th Annual Fear & Favor Review” the types of business deals some corporations go through in order to maintain their headlines. The Washington Post (08/17/2012) published an article where they established anonymity to a Republican campaign adviser who shared details on Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan (2013). According to Jackson, this is an example of journalism harming news production because the source of article was not revealed on purpose. Another example of media control pointed out by Jackson goes deeper into the political spectrum where during the 2012 Presidential debates then candidates Barack Obama and Mitt Romney were not asked questions on “poverty, inequality, housing, race or racism, criminal justice, drug legalization, labor unions, or climate change” (2013) topics that would seem to appeal more to the public as they are central for everyday living. These examples show that media control – a tactic used amongst the big media corporations – are causing information to be left out from the public when it is this type of information that is more useful and

In this era of political polarization and increasingly partisan news outlets, it has become simply for people to find press sources that agree with their worldview. However, even in these situations it is important to consider how mainstream sources choose to frame and issue. The journalism industry depends upon conventions and those conventions can help to shape and influence coverage (Richardson, 2007). Furthermore the language choices that journalists made influence how the public perceives coverage (Richardson, 2007). In the example of the coverage of Kim Davis the argument has multiple stakeholders, yet journalism’s traditions leave the expectation that the debate will be geared toward conflict (McCaffrey & Keys, 2000; Levasseur, Sawyer,
