The departure follows reports of tension on the paper’s news side about how to cover up Trump. The sources, Politico and Buzzfeed are used to explain how the tension of trump is starting to reflect the views on the journalism side. According to Politico, Baker wrote “ I’m eager to talk with all of you about the challenges and opportunities for our journalism." As the author introduces this quote by explaining that journalism

    The broadsheets offered daily coverage by publishing company, but no commentator or analyst gave any context and readers were left to make up their own minds. Peter Funt believes that there is barely people would create ideas on news, “The sad truth is that while some of us are naturally curious about what we don't know, an increasing number of readers and viewers want only reinforcement of what they already know.”(pg.198) Newspapers believed that their prime duty was to report what had happened the previous day and give a space to reader a way to think, to brainstorm rather than make argument to an event or judge on someone that post online. Were newspapers then better or…

    Her strong use of analogies helps the reader visualize what she is trying to say and make connections. In Dowd’s March 18th column on a power-hungry Trump (“Trump, Working-Class Zero”), she compares Donald Trump to King Lear, “As he rages in the storm, Lear-like, howling about poisonous fake news, he is spewing poisonous fake news” (“Trump, Working-Class Zero). This quote provides the reader with a new perspective on Trump and allows them to see him in a different light. In an earlier column published on February 25th about Trump’s untraditional relationship with the media (“Trump vs. Press: Crazy, Stupid Love”), Dowd states, “It’s going to end like all those plays and movies – From ‘Othello’ to ‘Endless Love’ – where the mutual attraction is so powerful, it’s toxic” (“Trump vs. Press: Crazy, Stupid Love”). Dowd is saying that the relationship between the media and Trump is unhealthy, and is bound to end…

    He uses the statistic of the shrinking correspondents to establish the fact that if this number is continually decreasing, there may be in the future a lack of unbiased media presentation, asking his audience to consider the importance of foreign news coverage.Goodman connects to the vast implications of bias presented via social media to further build his argument. Reporters “know the power of Twitter, Facebook and other forms of social media” and, as they continue to rise in popularity in the distribution of media, are enabling the genesis of “citizen journalists who function largely as funnels . .…

    Contrary to what the journalists of today will affirm, the media are not objective. Journalists allow their liberal viewpoints to infiltrate their reporting and provide the public with tainted information. For example, all the newspaper and television news programs reporting on the war in Iraq focused on American casualties and the fact that “no real evidence of weapons of mass destruction has been found.” In reality, Americans are being killed, but only about 200 have died since the start of the war in April of 2003, which is significantly less than was expected. Also, Americans have found evidence of laboratories which they believe were used for biological and chemical warfare research. Withholding this valuable information gives American citizens the impression that the war is a useless waste of time, money, and American lives. Another issue tainted with liberal viewpoints was the resignation of radio personality Rush Limbaugh from his television spot on ESPN due to an “offensive” comment he made. The media shouted, “Politically incorrect!” and Limbaugh was forced to leave the show. However, his real…

    Due to the fact that mass media is in the business for profit, the stories they put out are sensational. Articles and headlines are usually presented as conflicts, and with flashy titles containing some sort of wordplay, such as “Terror on the Tarmac” , the current front page headline of the New York Daily News. On the other hand, the first story about the combat process in Iraq is on page 17 . The main objective for these newspapers is to turn a profit, and that is achieved by moving the most units. The best way to move units is by drawing customers in with exciting headlines, even if they’re not the most relevant…

    President-elect Donald J. Trump’s real estate school, Trump University, was facing three lawsuits about the quality of education and business practices of the university. Students complained that they were swindled out of thousands of dollars in tuition and that the education they received was not up to par with the university’s claims (Eder). Mr. Trump’s school operated from 2004 to 2010 and offered a wide variety of packages that students could purchase after the free introductory seminar (Eder). These packages were priced up to $35,000 (Eder). The school faced much criticism, from Trump’s level of involvement in the classes to managers of the school saying that it was “a fraudulent scheme” (Cassidy). In addition, the school was penalized for violating state education laws in New York (Eder). Trump’s defense included information from the website 98percentapproval.com, which claimed that students were overwhelmingly satisfied with the quality of the programs, when in fact, these students were pressured into giving the school positive reviews despite their dissatisfaction with the program (Cassidy). Mr. Trump also made remarks about the judge overseeing the California lawsuits, implying that he is not impartial because of his Mexican heritage (Eder). One of the federal class-action lawsuits in San Diego was 10 days from being presented in front of a jury when Trump agreed to pay a settlement (Eder). The two California lawsuits were to be paid $21 million, and the New York attorney general lawsuit was to be paid $4 million (Eder). As a result…

    Trump has fought with the “main stream media” since the beginnings of his campaign, boycotting Fox-News’ Republican Primary debate (Fox News). The tensions have only intensified since his presidency, often berating the media, including reputable news networks like the New York Times, for waging a war against him with ‘Fake news’. However, he fails to provide evidence as to exactly what news networks are misreporting, simply referring to “negative coverage as ‘so evil and so bad’ and that ‘they write lies’;” statements absent of examples of the supposed lies (Breitbart). The repugnance is so strong that Steven Bannon, the administration’s chief strategist, labeled the media as the “opposition party” (Politico), and Trump himself doubled down by labeling it as the “Enemy of the American People.” (New York Times) This radical stance is incredibly alarming as it pits the Media, the ultimate manifestation of opposing views and by extension free speech, as an enemy of the state, possibly justifying or inciting the silence of entities that the Trump administration arbitrarily labels a…

    There are nine “authors” throughout the article that give incite on media bias and what role it plays in political election. Among those is Groseclose himself, who calculates his PQ to be a 13, strongly conservative. The political backgrounds of these debaters portray two things to the audience. One, they are all highly educated in the world of politics, economics, and journalism which provides credibility to their discussion. However, they are all conservative leaning people, except Andrew Rosenthal, which gives the audience a sense of bias throughout the discussion. Writer Steve Levitt starts the transcript by clarifying that “Measuring media bias is a really difficult endeavor because unlike what economists usually study, which are numbers and quantities, media bias is all expressed in words.” Although the meat of this article is informal, the author provides the audience with some quantitative tables and lists in the introduction to promote the logical appeal of their argument. To simplify the argument they all agree on a common goal of media outlets that can best be summed up by Mathew Gentzkow, “what the people making the decisions at the newspapers are doing is trying to sell newspapers.” The fact that they all can concur that the biggest thing driving political slant is the consumer makes the audience feel as though it is fact, and common…
