The Role Of Popular News Media On An Electoral Environment

As many know, Hillary Clinton has been exchanging confidential emails on her private email domain and private server for years. Clinton is not fit to be the president of the United States. There have been many scandals such as the Benghazi issue with Clinton in the past. She may as well be lying about her whole entire campaign. These are not new, they have been going on for many years.

Television has been influential in United States presidential elections since the 1960’s. But just what is this influence, and how has it affected who is elected? Has it made elections fairer and more accessible, or has it moved candidates from pursuing issues to pursuing image? The media only impacts the American Society, especially for the presidential election as it increases the talks in politics and gives the president a higher role to follow. The television race captures more popularity than what a citizen is actually voting for.

When the news of the email and investigation were out many were in no support to have someone like Hillary as a president. They did encourage a liar to be our president and did not think someone like Clinton would be fit to run the country. Just days before polls opened the FBI made a surprising decision to re-examine Hillary and newly related emails. Many liberals and conservatives were angered by this decision and democrats said the FBI should have gathered more facts before making it public. Only to announce that the FBI would not reverse its past decision. Among democrats a cause of concern occurred when news about the FBI broke out; A third of the voters said they were less likely to support Clinton.(Roberts, Dan) Hillary herself was said to blame part of her loss of the

During this election cycle, America has been blessed by a plethora of pantsuits. Ranging from teal to lilac, speech after speech, debate after debate, Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Presidential Candidate, paints a picture of professionalism and composure in her pantsuit. After the primaries, this aura of poise seemed to double, not of her own accord, but because of the fool she was facing––the quirky (for lack of a better word), tactless Donald Trump.

The Benghazi attacks are a notable attack on Hillary Clinton. This incident was heated and intensified after false media reports, such as Fox News, sparked negative outrageous comments against the government. Before, during, and after the attack, Clinton herself never personally denied any requests for additional security in Benghazi. Clinton was also active and engaged on the night of the attacks and in subsequent days. She did not fail to swiftly respond to the terroristic attacks on the embassy and at the same time consulted top levels of government. This attack, based upon many years ago continues to be a common assault on Clinton. Why so? Because Hillary Clinton has quite a resume, with her tenure as Secretary of State, senator, First

When Clinton was running for president a women named Gennifer Flowers opened up to the media about a 12 year affair that Clinton and Flowers had. She told the media that she was given a job in the State House of Arkansas that she was unqualified for while Clinton was president. In a 60 Minutes interview, Clinton admitted to causing “pain” in his marriage but he also said “the allegations are false” (15). This shows Clinton’s “tendency to play with words and

According to Ann Coulter (2002), Clinton’s entire presidency was just a game to him and he made a mockery of the American people (p. 28). Margaret O’Brien Steinfels (1999) believed that Clinton was a horrible excuse for a political leader and an even worse moral leader due to his mistrust (para. 6). Many Americans shared these feelings and were left feeling betrayed after they supported President Clinton. It certainly affected the way they would choose their presidents from there on. Daniel Cohen (2000) concluded that the Clinton Presidency would permanently change the way Americans viewed their political leaders as well (p. 10). Clinton not only discredited his position as president by having a sex scandal blow up but he might have fooled Americans with his deceitful, self-serving actions. These actions certainly constituted an impeachment and left doubts with the people he

Your life literally goes on display when you are trying to campaign for public office, and when that office is to be leader of the free world, then you can simply imagine why so many people will become obsessed with the position, news, and the power as well. For the Clinton campaign and Hillary herself, the hack that occurred could wind up swinging the election out of her favor. It is too hard to say if it will or if it will not, but one thing is certain and that is when you are in the middle of an election you should rely on business video conferencing software for IT by BlueJeans in order to run the campaign, transfer information, and feel

As I write this book, Democratic and Republican candidates are getting in position to run for the President of the United States in 2016. Hillary Clinton was the first Democrat to throw her hat in the ring and right away the Republican Party began attacking her for using her personal email and business email together.

Hillary Clinton ruled a last arrangement of open deliberation trades with Donald J. Trump about national security and sexual orientation, telling voters they couldn't believe her adversary with atomic weapons and cautioning that he doesn't regard ladies.

Questions of Hillary Clinton’s morals, and trustworthiness, after using her personal email to conducted secretary of state governmental business. There is a lot to be considered with how Mrs. Clinton handled the situation. It leaves voters unsure if they can trust her. One thing that has been bothering the public and democratic and republican leader is how she is handling the problem, once it was brought to light. Until not taken any ownership of her action. However, in Iowa Mrs. Clinton “took responsibility” for her actions, and admitted it was not one of her “best choices”. This however, is not am apology. The public and leaders are waiting for Mrs. Clinton to explain her reasoning, and answer question regarding the incident. This incident has posed a huge

This article will argue that Hillary Clinton's most recent scandals like her email server situation, Benghazi attacks she oversaw, and foreign donations her charity the Clinton foundation, received aren’t as big of a deal as they've been made out be by comparing them to similar actions by other politicians in similar positions of power that had similar results.

Clinton’s loss in 2016 presidential elections considered as a second greatest political upset of all time after Harry Truman’s victory in 1948. Mrs. Clinton was a seasoned politician with the backing of a sitting government, huge financial resources, and a huge following. Her opponent, Mr. Trump, on the other hand, was an inexperienced outsider, with neither a military nor a political background. During the campaign period, Mr. Trump made numerous gaffes and managed to insult about every ethnic group in America. He faced accusations of sexual assault from twelve women and at some point, there was even a video of him speaking and bragging of sexually harassing women. On paper, Mr. Trump was the easiest opponent to beat, and yet, to the surprise of many political pundits, he defeated Mrs. Clinton. Democrats and political pundits have looked for reasons as to why Mrs. Clinton lost and it really comes down to a series of strategic mistakes by her campaign team and Mrs. Clinton’s message or lack of it, and trust. Mrs. Clinton’s team failed to come up with strategies that would have led to a huge turnout of the Democratic Party's support base. Secondly, Mrs. Clinton did not have a clear message as to why she was running for president for the presidency. Even when she managed to come up with a campaign slogan to explain her reasons for running, she still had to fight trust issues brought by FBI investigations and questions business connections in her charity

After a brief introduction, James Comey states the FBI was looking into “whether classified information was improperly stored or transmitted on [Clinton’s] personal system in violation of the Federal statute that makes it a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way; or a second statute making it a misdemeanor to knowingly remove classified information from appropriate systems or storage facilities.” (Huffington Post ). With this, Hilary Clinton has broken three federal laws including the mishandling of classified information, the violation of the 2009 federal records act and the violation of the freedom of information act (FOIA). Executive Order 13526 and 18 U.S.C Sec. 793(f) of the federal code make it unlawful to send of store classified information on personal email. Casey Harper at The Daily Caller delved into this angle:"By using a private email system, Secretary Clinton violated the Federal Records Act and the State Department’s Foreign Affairs Manual regarding records management, and worse, could have left classified and top secret documents vulnerable to cyber attack."This is just one example, where a politician has broken multiple laws however at the end charges are dismissed and even with such predominant evidence of illegal activity warrants no criminal

Media is known as the “king maker” for many reasons, such as shaping candidates in audience’s perspective. Television has been a big influence in shaping voters choice and labeling political parties, even though some believe media information can be scant in regards to candidates. Media can be anything from television to social media networks and how many people think that media is a great influence, some also think it can be a problem. “It only takes 140 characters to damage a political campaign” in which Smith is referring to social media as being a problem. (Smith, K. 2011. Pg. 9) At the state and local levels party affiliation remains the most important. “In television age, journalist became the chief influence in the selection of candidates
