Writing About Arianna Huffington 's Tweets Are Personal, Communication, And Positional

Which presidential candidate leads the polls? Does belligerent racism personify Trump? Does Hillary have what it takes to deal with her Benghazi baggage? Does Bush have daddy issues? Does Carson pop sleeping pills? Does Sanders have a mind as crazy as his hair? Often, these topics lead to heated debates about who will truly make America great again. The media constantly divulges about “[the] Baggage, the Gaffes and the Billionaires” of the upcoming election (Dickinson and Kelley), and with the 2016 presidential election around the corner, the topic of politics has become a bullet nearly impossible to dodge. Maureen Dowd a disputatious Op-Ed columnist for the New York Times cajoles and educates her audience through the use of emotional appeals, a polemic writing style to argue controversial topics, as well as a dauntless and sardonic tone appealing to the audience, in order to convince the readers of her tenacious viewpoints against political leaders while also captivating and further informing the public about the political parties.

Tone is an important element when getting the message across for Smith’s piece. She uses tone when she expands upon the fact that though celebrities are used for promoting opinions, when it is an unpopular opinion that is being expressed, the celebrities receive backlash. “Based on the results of surveys conducted about my not facing the flag before games, it is apparent that a good percentage of people simply do not believe athletes should make their own political statements.” Smith’s firm tone emphasizes that celebrities should make their own statements whether political or not, because they have the right to do such an

On November 3, 2016 in Berwyn, Pennsylvania our soon to be First Lady, Melania Trump, gave a speech addressing her past along with her hopes for the future of the United States. Over the past two years, political figures have been debating and campaigning for who would become America’s 45th President. As the candidates filtered down to Hilary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, and Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, the amount of rallies held to gain their supporters’ votes grew in abundance. Days prior to the Election Night, Melania Trump delivered her speech in hopes of gaining the votes of citizens who had not yet decided. Throughout this paper I will discus how the theory of ethos is used across Mrs. Trump’s speech to work for and against her.

Editors at CNN and MSNBC will likely assume that features about the Trump family, however tired and repetitious, will restore their falling ratings. Exposés of Melania Trump and her supermodel career or humble upbringing will assuredly never fail in increasing clicks for the news agencies. In time, it would be fair to speculate that Ivanka’s driver or Barron’s former teacher can command for their reminiscences sums which any mortal might envy. Even if the new president’s politics and personality severely divides American public opinion, tourists to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue will be sure to be staring through the iron railings like that of pious old women who shuffle through dark, deserted churches.

Since becoming the first lady of the United States of America Melania Trump’s public appearances have been hopeless and controversial. Starting with her speech at the Republican National Convention, which was to some extend a reproduction of Michelle Obama’s speech in 2008, follow by her comments on Donald Trump’s discourse, and concluding with the speech she gave after becoming the first lady, where she stated that her first priority was to fight cyber bullying. The fact that Melania does not seem to have an opinion about major political matters have taken away from her popularity. In order for Melania to disassociate herself from Donald Trump’s image, she needs to make herself more accessible to the people. An excellent start for this journey

Clinton took social media sites like Twitter and Instagram to assert her plans and political beliefs in a professional manner, but Trump employed it to easily profess outrageous complaints, develop further altercations, and erupt virtual fights with any of his naysayers–which viewers found entertaining. Amid these actions, Donald created a bully pulpit, a platform used to project a motive, out of Twitter. Once again, internet masses discovered his tweets to be outrageous and foolish stunts. It became performance for individuals and left several wondering how he can surpass his own absurdity–thoughts not generally associated with a President-elect. As a result, Twitter gave Donald Trump an easy and quick communication platform to speak directly to followers. Media strategist, Alex Wallace, regards that "the consumer wants a one-to-one relationship… the person who's engaging with the consumer" (Fortune). Nonetheless, his outrageous tweets ended up on every major news network the next day, putting Trump in the spotlight and Hillary at the butt of most of his jokes. While most to all individuals judge his comments sexist, racist, hypocritical, or all of the above, others respect his actions for creating his own marketing podium. Newt Gingrich, past House Speaker, concludes: “it is very good for him to tweet. I think the country gets into it. I

The recent election in the United States provided a profound lesson in communication. It exposed the gap between truth and fiction as politicians, news and entertainment media, interest groups, genders, nationalities, and the public made clear their opinions, plans, hypocrisy, ambition, and their incredible ability to spin their words to support the platform they supported. Attempts to find the truth were challenged like never before, but if one focused on what was not said and what was not written, the truth was often glaringly obvious by the non-verbal communication that unmasked even the most polished. The Alfred’s and Hawthorn’s models come into play clearly as truth revealed the perfect spokes-model in Donald Trump’s wife, Melania,

Since the demographic for Twitter users is more heavily weighted towards young adults, (Journalism.com 11/21/15). After famous baseball player, Yogi Berra, passed away, Clinton took a break from tweeting about politics and recognized his greatness in the game. (Hillary Clinton. Twitter 9/23/15) This tweet shows that in addition to a political agenda, Clinton is also trying to appear more relatable. Because tweets are only 140-characters, Clinton must convey her message in a digestible medium.

I have learned that communication competency is the ability to be both effective and appropriate. This is a good reminder to be conscious of how you go about discussing certain things. After reading section 1.3 I realized I communicate with too much appropriateness that I don’t always get what I hope to achieve out of some conversations. With this, I think the most important characteristic of a competent communicator is the ability to perform skillfully. This would also be the one characteristic I could use improvements on because I choose the appropriate way to communicate, but don’t always perform the behavior effectively. Those who can both communicate effectively and appropriately fit the definition of a competent communicator. My question

Even when her message cannot be expressed humorously, Kirkman does not hesitate to share her opinion with the masses. Her primary focus is not on being funny, but rather, it is on eliciting positive, active responses beyond laughter. Although she is a comedian, she understands the importance of using her fame to spread important messages. “Immediacy and intimacy of social media networking sites may mean that messages spread by charged comics are taken more seriously and heard by more people” (Krefting 242). When asked about her Twitter account in an interview with The Boston Globe, Kirkman said, “I’m not a big fan of young people… and the tweets are my response to the Internet generation, which I find to be really unsophisticated’’ (Anderman 2). By composing humorous, informative and opinionated posts on a youth-driven social media platform, Kirkman may be able to influence or provoke political interest in the unsophisticated Internet generation. On the other hand, one must be aware that “charged humor can limit the commercial potential of a comic persona,” as people may react poorly to comedians’ opinions and choose to turn against them (Krefting 25). For example, on August 3, 2016, Kirkman tweeted: “I LIKE that Hillary [Clinton] has murdered a lot of people” (Saxena 1). The tweet resulted in an outpouring of criticism and death threats from Hillary Clinton supporters and
