Taking a Look at Wikipedia

September 11, 2001 (herein referred to as 9/11) was a day in American history, which will be remembered as the most horrific attack on American soil. This attack, carried out by nineteen Islamic extremists, was associated with al-Qaeda, and involved the hijacking of four airplanes. Two of those airplanes were hijacked and flown directly into the World Trade Center in New York City, New York. The third plane’s target was the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and the fourth plane was brought down in Pennsylvania where it is believed the passengers aboard fought the hijackers. This horrific day in history cost over 3,000 people their lives, and was labeled the worst attack on American soil since the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II.

Roughly 2,753 people were killed on September 11, 2001, by terrorists who overtook commercial airplanes (Jones). The cause of these thousands of deaths were a series of attacks in New York City by an Islamic terrorist group, Al-Qaeda. However, there are still many questions about what actually happened the morning of September 11, 2001. As there are many different conspiracy theories about what happened that day, 9/11 was an attack which began with Al- Qaeda hi-jacking airplanes, but ended with more questions than answers. Many questions still remain about the authenticity of cell phone calls from inside the planes, why air defense was told to “stand down,” and how three buildings imploded as the result of two buildings being struck by airplanes.

Media has been playing a significant role in our daily lives by developing our personalities, enriching our knowledge and providing us with different sorts of information. It has a tremendous power in framing cultural guidelines and shaping political dissertation. If the information provided to the U.S. citizens is distorted, then they cannot make informed decisions on the matters of public policy. Thus, it becomes vital to the American democracy that the news media and its institutions remain unbiased, fair and accurate. Media bias happens when a media systematically and persistently emphasize one particular point of view that is usually below the standards of professional journalism. There can be various reasons for media bias, some of

This article uses a sarcastic tone in order to appeal to pathos. I honestly really like how the author, Alexandra Petri, states her case. She is basically showing the hypocrisy that exist within the trump administrations ideas of what is important to protect and what is not. They respect object more than the lives of people. This article really does a good job of putting this issue into a visual perspective. Her perspective shows that if you are not on trumps side anything you do is wrong and you are seen as the enemy. I think the article is effective in that it really appeals to emotions of the audience. There isn’t a lot of statistical facts but there are a lot of straightforward examples of recent events that have been in media. Petri does

Media bias is defined as “the perception that the media is reporting the news in a partial or prejudiced manner” (Dugger). This kind of bias can be observed everywhere and in every kind of situation. American people get almost all of their information from popular news outlets or some other form of media. The media is often guilty for taking advantage of their power and covering stories with a certain political bias. This is obviously an enormous problem. It was not hard to find an example of such bias and the influence it has on public opinion.

September 11th, 2001 is a day darkened by tragedy. This day is remembered for one of the biggest terrorist attacks the United States has ever faced on American soil. The 9/11 attacks left many hearts broken and heads spinning about the events that occurred. I personally have been very skeptical about the official version of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. There are a few reasons that made me question what started a war that has become the longest war in American History. This paper will dive into the facts behind the events of this day to uncover the truth behind what occurred that day. Some of the major aspects I will be examining are the hard facts of September 11th, who was responsible for these attacks, the political repercussions,

The article is biased because it’s all about why it’s wrong there is nothing that supports another position.

9/11, one of the most devastating events to take place in the history of the United States. This attack was lead by a former terrorist group named Al Qaeda, or was it. For this research paper, I have decided to go in depth of the event that took place on September 11th. I will be taking the side that states Al Qaeda had nothing to do with the attacks, and that it was in fact an inside job lead by Bush and his administration. I am covering this topic because ever since learning about this event in middle school, I have always been skeptical about why and how that happened. Personally, I would like to know more and see what can be discovered by researching this event. I am also doing this topic because I have heard from many people Bush was

September 11, 2001 live on in America’s history because of the depth of the tragedy and many victims. Nineteen militant individuals associated with the radical extremist group of Al-Qaeda, radicals of the Islamic faith, hijacked four American airlines. Two planes separately entered the buildings of the Twin Towers located in New York City; the third plane collided into the Pentagon located outside of Washington, D.C: while the fourth landed in an open field in Pennsylvania. In total over 3,000 innocent Americans became victims of the radicals, slaying over 400 civil servant workers (CNN, 2013). September 11, 2001, (9-11) is the landmark that sparked radical terrorism, hate crimes for followers of the Muslin faith and how the media views terrorism.

While Bias in media may seem like an insignificant problem, it can have major effects on society, and even sway presidential elections. The problem is that there is a certain slant to all of the articles presented in the case of David Dao v. United Airlines. The topic is the perpetuation of misinformation concerning the United Airlines incident with David Dao. In order to prevent the perpetuation of misinformation the reader must identify bias. Source A is very biased concerning the David Dao case as it uses loaded words to describe the misgivings of United Airlines, Source B is slightly biased by quoting the most bombastic quotes from Jimmy Kimmel, while Source C is tilted to the right by sourcing right wing Mike Rowe.

This weeks article was titled, “A History of The 9/11 Attacks” The main idea of the article is that on 9/11/01 there was a terrorist attack. Two Planes crashed into the twin towers and killed 3,000 people. The 19 attackers were here months before september 11th. They smuggled box cutters and knives into the three coast airports. Planes crashed into New York buildings, American airlines flight 77 went around Washington DC and slammed into the west side of the Pentagon military headquarters. 125 people were killed in the pentagon, along with 64 aboard the airliner. Three thousand people died in the world trade center, including 343 firefighters and paramedics, 23 New York police officers, 37 port authority officers. Only 6 people in the

Media Bias has been a prevalent problem throughout history. For example in 1989 an article titled “Destruction of Warship Maine was the work of the enemy ”. Many would think this is a normal informative article however this article conveyed the idea that the destruction of the Warship was the work of the axis powers. This had been proven to be a simple accident. This is an example of pro-war bias. You can tell this because it is using the Pathos persuasive technique to make the people think that the destruction of the warship Maine was an attack to America and a threat to them personally, thus encouraging them to support the

I believe that the bias is liberal. I believe that the bias is liberal because it sounds like the author of this article is on the side of the government. The events that happened on Friday in Paris were extremely horrifying and terrible. I feel that France bombing Isis was the right thing to do in my personal opinion. Only to hope that this

The Smithsonian website’s authenticity and legitimacy must be questioned; this is due to the” tell your story” section of the website. This section allows people to contribute their own stories of their own memory of the events that occurred on September 11. This causes the truth to be distorted and the authenticity of the website is challenged due to these disputable facts which are published on the website. These different stories which are published create many different perspectives of one past event that has already occurred which is not possible because there can only be one way in which it happened. Therefore an individuals’ memory affects the history and causes distortion of the truth because an individuals’ memory will be biased.

The Wikipedia is a free, online encyclopedia that lets every individual with Internet connection write and edits its articles. Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger launched their creation in 2001 giving an opportunity to all willing people to work together to develop a common resource of knowledge. Many people have different believes and ideas about Wikipedia, therefore, some tend to think of it as a credible and valid source of information, others strongly disagree. “Since all the books and articles have been chosen for publication, each one has presumably undergone some form of selection and review” (Spatt, 2011, “p.”339-340). Unfortunately, this statement is simply not enough to
