The Influence Of Fox News

Since announcing his candidacy for president, Trump has created an even bigger name for himself dominating the news. And since Trump had decided to skip the last Republican debate aired on Fox News a few weeks ago, Trump had sent a message to Fox News showing his dominance over any event. Fox News may be able to afford giving digs at Trump, but because it is a Republican based network Fox News could not afford and would see much rating loss if they made a decision to drop Trump. What Is A Trump Republican? Donald’s personal attack strategy a new frontier for GOP candidates, the headline of a story Fox News released describing about a Trump Republican an outsider. The article is not bashing Trump the entire time, but the interviews included talk about why Trump is not ready to be president. During a TV interview in February, Trump mentioned the Pope’s unbelief with the danger the United States has with Mexico. Instantly, the news broke. CNN released a story headlined Really, Donald Trump? A Fight With The Pope? Fox News released a story shortly after headlining Trump: Pope will wish I was president when ISIS hits Vatican. Both news networks focus the story on the interview with Trump, but both in different ways are attacking Trump, portraying him an evil man. CNN does this by correlating Trump bad

The PBS anchor was one woman with little to no makeup on, and dressed more conservative, while on the fox news there were two anchors, a man and a woman dressed more professional with a suit and the woman wearing a little more revealing dress. When delivering the news, PBS has their stories last approximately ten minutes and for this specific day, they focused more about France and their presidential election while the fox news touched the surface on France but talked about a shooting that occurred over there. The fox news lacked detailed stories because jumped to recent events rather quickly. For example, Fox talked about wall street, the weather, France, tragic events and deaths, for less than 10 minutes each, making it hard to understand the importance of each event. While the anchors from Fox would communicate with a third person located in another area to give their reports, the PBS anchor gives a more intimate connection with her reports, by showing the events that are occurring then talking about them right after, she would also give interviews with people one on one, like she did with the united nation security general. The news being distributed in different ways, the Fox news hold a more emotional appeal to their viewers because the audience who watch fox news are from around the area and are familiar with the events that occur. The Fox news give the stories and weather updates that the local viewers need to know because it has a relevant purpose to their lives, compared to the PBS news, that gives educational but irrelevant news because their news does not provide current issues that can affect the viewer’s life. The PBS news gives an appeal to facts rather than an emotional appeal because it states facts that happen around the world but not about close events that can connect to the viewer personally. Overall the news is a

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.

However, there are broadcasters at Fox News like, Chris Wallace on Sunday mornings with integrity and have no fear of political retaliation. Wallace gives the American people the whole truth and not journalistic half-truths. “The Boston Globe, describes Wallace as an equal opportunity inquisitor”. “The Washington Post states that Chris Wallace is an aggressive journalist, sharp edged and solid,” and the Miami Herald describes Wallace as an “equal-opportunity ravager” (Chris). Before, joining Fox News, Wallace worked at ABC News for 15

MSNBC’s audience are liberals and democrats who care greatly about saving the environment from global warming. Many of the viewers appear to be both in the middle and left wing who are everyday people who were raised in a more progressive era. Meanwhile, viewers of Fox News are diehard conservatives who believe wholeheartedly that climate change is a tactic orchestrated by liberals to take away their political powers. In a sense, it appears as though Fox News appeals to older and predominantly white, rich males who grew up before the progressive era. Fox News expressed their personal testimony more openly, which allows them to deflect the attention of the audience away from the issue, while MSNBC sticks to the topic at hand and supplies a plethora of statistics for their audience. Fox News logos and pathos appeal is more effect than MSNBC because they make statements that disturb viewers peace of minds. However, MSNBC is clearly more effective in winning over their audience due to the highly educated commentators they use to make their point across. It is apparent after the examination of these four transcripts that broadcast networks apply their own bias opinions into a form of current events that is supposed to remain unbiased and

“Fair and balanced” is the slogan for Fox News. Tim Dickinson, the author of “How Roger Ailes Built the Fox News Fear Factory The onetime Nixon operative has created the most profitable propaganda machine in history. Inside America’s Unfair and Imbalanced Network,” couldn’t disagree more. Dickinson, in criticism of Fox News, quotes Roger Ailes, the founder of the news network by saying that “Forget all the facts and figures, and move to the offense as quickly as possible” would serve as a more appropriate slogan. (Dickinson, ’11 p.7) In short the author feels that Ailes is “cleverly camouflaging political propaganda as independent journalism.”(Dickinson, ’11 p. 2)

Fox News is a known conservative outlet. In some people’s opinion they aren’t too reliable.However, their website is put together nicely and is easily accessible. In an article about Bernie Sanders they would say things “Has the Bernie Sanders phenomenon reached the point where the media have to take it more seriously?” (Kurtz, Howard. "The Bernie Boom: Why Sanders Is Shattering the Media's Expectations." Fox News. FOX News Network, 06 Oct. 2015. Web. 15 Nov. 2015.) That is obvious bias, claiming that Sanders hasn’t been taken seriously until now. Fox News also would not show full quotes of Sanders, but instead they would quote just a word. ("Bernie Sanders Takes Aim at 'greedy' Koch Brothers." Fox News. FOX News Network, 22 Aug. 2015. Web. 15 Nov. 2015) When you search “Bernie Sanders” on Fox News’ website one article comes up and it’s about Bernie Sanders themed underwear, professional. If you are a democrat you would most likely not use Fox News to get your news.

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.

In this article, Tucker Carlson, one of the main anchors of Fox News defended Mr. Trump’s picks and blasted media.

In today’s society, remaining connected and knowledgeable of current events and the newest trends is vital to staying ahead in business, education, and social standing. This information is supplied to everyone through the internet, newspapers, television, and radio. One can tune into stations such as CNN, NBC, Fox News, Al-Jazeera, and many others (“SQs of Media Outlets”). In order to meet the needs of viewers, readers, and listeners, the ideal media system would contain accurate, quick information, with a purely impartial view on the facts as they are known. However, this modern media system has not maintained an objective view, pushing opinionated and slanted reporting onto the population in order to create profit and gain customers. The exploitation of information media for personal gain has created a toxic and inaccurate present, constant in today’s society.

It is the reporters’ job to keep their personally thoughts on a topic to themselves and give the reader/viewer a change to decide for themselves which side they support more. Anyone who has never seen FOX news would think that everything they are saying is “fair and balanced” between liberal and conservative, which would cause them to develop a more conservative bias on the topic. FOX is not giving people a chance to hear the good and the bad about both sides, but rather they are hearing the good of the conservative side, and the bad of the liberal. As media practitioners, it is their job to make sure that the viewers have the freedom to form an opinion free of bias. Since FOX news tends to go one way more than the other, it makes much more sense to use “perspective”. By doing this they are showing the viewers that this is just one perspective of the

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

Moreover, Gingas has never been happier to do what she has always dreamed of. When it comes to her job’s philosophy, they believe in being fair and having balance. Fox News Network media model is like any other news station that is striving to give the viewers what they want. The Fox news network is a basic American cable news television, so its principal is to find stories that benefit the community. Gingas did describe where she is currently working as a firm. Besides using the production room to writes and edit stories, Gingas is usually in the news stations studio and interviewing players after a game.

There are more liberal news sources than conservative news sources. For example ABC is considered a left sided source, it is more liberal based then conservative based. NBS news is also another source that is liberal, it is more focused on the personal preference of left sided viewers. Another liberal news source is CBS, like ABC and NBS it is politically based on the left side and it accommodates the liberal viewers. MSNBC is a news source that is more on the strong liberal side, it is most likely known for being very left sided with their news reports. A very popular liberal news source is CNN, it is very favored by the majority of the people. All these liberal new sources are intended to please the viewers and their political

Fox news is a pretty well known news channel; nowadays it not only broadcasts its news through T.V., but also through its online resources for viewers and listeners to obtain. Personally I really find it inspiring that this channel was able to have multiple other Fox News channels all over the world that speaks in different languages and understands different cultures. Some people may accuse Fox News for being bias however, I think that they did a great job in creating such a great news channel that is available to millions of people from different nations, who speak different languages and have different current events. I feel like Fox News is different from other companies in the same field because it is one mother company that branches into many countries, instead of focusing on one region and it is also unique because if focuses on an array of news themes instead of one specific
