Mainstream Media offers Fake News On June 16th, 2015 Donald Trump declared he was running for office. From that day, the mainstream media has never given the President a fair opportunity. Liberals and the left-leaning media groups find ways to bash and belittle his every action. Being mistreated, Trump’s many significant accomplishments, like the rise of the stock market, are picked apart to be diminished or not reported. Saying what is on his mind, Trump has gotten the support of many Republicans, who are also exhausted by the media and the corruption of their stories along with the corruption in the government. Beginning his campaign, Trump based his campaign on the fact that Americans were tired of political correctness, language …show more content…
In spite of this new act, the media and the left did not necessarily disagree with this action, but it was one of the few actions agreed upon between the two parties. Millions of women (Aol.com NP) protested in major cities across the U.S. protesting the Trump presidency, protesting the way Trump treats women. Beginning his term in office, Trump had already faced many obstacles. Next, Trump suspended the U.S refugee program that was still in place from the previous Obama presidency. The travel ban by Trump was put in place to prevent terrorism from entering our country from seven Muslim majority countries for the purpose of safety of our homeland and our citizens. With this law passing, many Americans were angered and concluded that Trump was racist and thought that he didn’t want Muslims in our country for only that reason, causing protests to surge. From this point on, the President would be considered of by Democrats as a racist man who did not want immigrants in our country. Building a border wall was and is one of the top tasks on the President’s agenda. Illegal immigration is a big problem in this country, with this in mind, it is unfair to the millions of people who immigrated legally to the U.S. Illegal immigrants that are good; hard-working citizens should be able to stay in the U.S if they go through the same process as those who
“The Limit of Trumpism,” discusses how Trump’s agenda has kept him in the presidential election. Many have tried to follow his agendas but have caused them to lose the primaries. The article also demonstrates the limits to Trump. The biggest fault Trump has is reaching minorities. Instead of trying to entice minorities he is bashing immigrants. The author believes that this area of ignorance is causing Trump to lose in the polls.
Hosts, reporters, and commentators dug at President Trump and his administration in almost every single story aired over the course of an hour and a half. MSNBC host Rachel Maddow eluded that Trump’s alleged ties with Russia “will come out soon,” but she omitted the word alleged, a move that could trigger a slander lawsuit. This framing by both MSNBC and Fox advance a political agenda. If a media consumer were to watch only one of these outlets, that consumer would hear only one view on the world. I believe these partisan outlets can cause closed-mindedness and advocate against those with different beliefs to work together.
Donald John Trump is currently one of the candidates for the Republican nomination for the President of the United States in the 2016 election. He is having no trouble winning numerous state caucuses and is currently the leading candidate with the most delegates among his republican peers. In the media, he is a candidate that seems to have the most air time compared to all of his contenders; his saturated exposure can be considered one of the major contributor to his rising popularity. Trump delivers simple but effective rhetoric about tax cuts for the rich as well as the poor, anti-free trade, tough immigration reform, Nationalism, and other topics that naturally draw in support from the average right-winged conservative individual. His crazy
In a particularly harsh and surprising article on the typically conservative Wall Street Journal editorial page, the writer voices his anger with Trump’s dubitable claims that British Intelligence wiretapped President Trump on behalf of the Obama administration. He concludes his article with the statement, “Two months into his Presidency, Gallup has Mr. Trump’s approval rating at 39 percent. No doubt Mr. Trump considers that fake news, but if he doesn’t show more respect for the truth, most Americans may conclude he’s a fake President.” While this is an especially severe statement, according to the aforementioned Fox News poll, the majority of people “think it’s better for the country if the news media ‘cover the president aggressively.’” The result of this poll is compatible with the public’s positive response to the Supreme Court’s ruling in New York Times v. United States. With the new administration, freedom of the press will remain at the forefront as questions continue to arise about what type of press is best for the
Unexpectedly, the front-runner in the Republican presidential race is the one guy that no one expected to be a serious candidate. Donald Trump has leaped ahead of the rest of the Republican field, making friends and enemies alike. Since his controversial announcement speech, polling has put him squarely in the two of popular GOP candidates along with presumed leader Jeb Bush. As startling as this is to many, it is even more alarming to those parts of the GOP who are trying to broaden their appeal and reach out to minorities. Already, many political operatives are doing damage control in the wake of Mr. Trump 's path and others are trying to tie his racist statements into the fabric of the Republican party itself.
As a barely twenty-year-old junior at a sheltered private college, I have to confess that it’s been very hard to conceptualize and realize the severity of the 2016 election. What started off as a race of what seemed like a million different candidates, the polls quickly zoned in on two candidates we could’ve never predicted to be the voting citizens’ final choice. It’s both overwhelming, and simple, deceitful, and truthful – this election seems to be full of contradictions and half truths, and the opaque nature of a once seemingly transparent media complicates matters further in an election that seems convoluted even on paper. Along with the legislative branch, the media itself has turned into a monster we never thought we’d have to wrangle. We are surrounded by propaganda, caricatures, and cartoons everywhere we turn, especially in print media like
On Saturday, January 28th, Donald Trump enacted an immigrant ban on the countries of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. Trump believed that the Muslims in those states were terrorists and could possibly hurt the United States. When this ban came into effect, immigrants were stranded at airports and people, nation-wide, were livid and confused as to why the ban was enacted. Immigrants were frightened for their lives and wanted to go back to their home in America, but they were considered dangerous. After the ban, the United States chose sides on whether or not to support or despise the act. In, "Ask a Chicagoan, Mr. President, about 'dangerous' immigrants", the Chicago Sun-Times Editorial Board successfully persuades the Chicagoland
The 2016 presidential election had been a contentious one even before the primaries began. A divide within parties and between the public grew increasingly evident over the past year, ultimately leading to a candidate with no prior political experience beating out a candidate with forty-plus years on her resume. Scandals plagued both campaigns, however, polls and positive media coverage stayed firmly in Hillary Clinton’s favor throughout the duration of the election process with Donald Trump even claiming that the polls were “rigged” and the media was biased. While the veracity of these claims cannot be verified, today we know that the polls were wrong and the media that all but handed the election to Clinton were wrong as well. So how did Trump, someone many said would need a miracle to make it to the White House, beat all the odds and his seemingly strong opponent to become President? Though pundits are still struggling to understand it, the rise of Donald Trump shouldn’t have surprised anyone. For the pioneering German sociologist Max Weber, it would have been entirely predictable, a classic example of the politics of charisma.
The American mainstream liberal media and press have started to set up the traps, to attacking Donald Trump on four fronts. Donald Trump is the only candidate has to speak up the truth, about the crisis situation in the US today.
The Republican Presidential front-runner Donald Trump continues to rise in the polls even after a widely held opinion that he lost the debate to a much more eloquent and prepared Carly Fiorina. Fiorina in response to her strong performance has seen a modest jump in the polls; however, Trump supports continue to see high numbers in the polls. His bombastic personality and candidacy have received cheers from liberals and confusion by establishment conservatives who normally would treat candidates like Trump as only the popular dish of the day. Establishment conservatives are praying that voters eventually see the Trump dish is undercooked, and that it would ultimately leave them at the mercy of the porcelain throne the next four years. The main
In today’s world, the most controversial politician in this era is the president of the U.S. How did Trump possibly get to the point where he was able to lead the republican party, even with overflowing controversy? Can anybody with immense wealth/fortune and/or credible political connections become the frontrunner of the presidential election? Regardless of one’s answer, after this presidential election the outlook on the set up and landscape of politics will change drastically. The accusations of assault, moral dishonesty, and racism towards Trump has brought more turmoil in the political world, feuds among the people, and rambunctious protests within communities than any other presidential election this century. Even though degrading controversy is associated with Trump, he was still able to use highly effective sarcastic and hyperbolic rhetoric, which translated to entertainment, to capture votes and overcome accusations of assault.
The 2016 primary election has been the most intriguing in modern history, mainly due to one candidate; Donald J. Trump. Before he won the general election, President-elect Donald J. Trump won the Republican primary. Since the day he announced his candidacy by riding down an escalator in Trump Tower, pundits and politicians didn’t seriously believe he had a chance. As the debates were held and the primaries went on, it became apparent that he had an actual chance of winning the nomination. The Republican primary showed that there was an anger toward traditional politicians, an anger which Donald Trump tapped into. The rise of Trump also showed that the old rules of what was acceptable to say do not apply any more. These and other factors lead me to the conclusion that the Republican party lost control of the 2016 primary election and failed to choose its eventual nominee.
It would be ignorant to ignore that while many countries in the middle east have been included in this ban, the countries there which Trump has business ties with have not been included. This brings about the obvious question of a conflict of interests in the white house. Many of the supporters of this movement claim to be doing this for the better of the future generations of this country because immigrants from the middle east are "dangerous." I ask you, how can that be true if there have been twelve terrorist attacks carried out of middle eastern citizens on America in all of history while 136 were carried out by American citizens over the course of just five months last year? This ban is ill advised, elitist, pretentious, and wrong. So of course when he was called out for it by someone in power Trump did all that he could do. He fired her. It is obvious that our president does not have his facts straight or the citizens best interest at
The first problem implemented in the executive order Trump enacted was how the ban’s sudden effects took place . In the article “Trump Bars Refugees and Citizens of 7 Muslim Countries,” President Trump, “...closed the nation’s borders to refugees…[and] blocked [them] from entering the United States...suspending immigration...”(Shear, Michael). Trump places the executive order to ban these countries attempting to rid the country of any terrorists from entering. This action
Donald Trump was elected president of the United States of America on November 8th, 2016, and now has been running our country for over a year. As Trump’s first year in office slowly began, his reputation seems to be creating different outside views of our nation and arguments started producing everywhere. After competing with Hillary Clinton for the presidential term in office, Trump defeated her along with her democratic supporters causing one of the most shocking elections in U.S. history. Using public media web pages, we are reviewing both sides of the argument regarding Trump’s election and we are going to decipher why each arguer supports their side, and why each side is reasonable for the benefit of our country.
