Fox News is an American television news outlet founded on October 7th 1996. Fox News has developed a reputation for publishing in an uncouth way, and is notorious for releasing right wing biased articles. Fox News reached their peak of stupidity during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Fox News is a source of business articles too, the factual nature of which is in question. The CEO of Fox News, Rupert Murdoch, is infamous for his corruption and his walled mindset of preserving the American dream. The entire organization of Fox News is based on bias and lies. Most people agree that The Economist is a fairly trustworthy publication so it will be used in comparison to Fox News (Wormald). Comparison between the articles will be done by examining two recent articles published on the same topic and contrasting the differences between the articles. The two articles that will be shown are “China takes over Anbang insurance, owner of the Waldorf Astoria” and “The rapid rise and fall of the Anbang empire” from Fox News and The Economist, respectively (The) (China). The most significant problem with the Fox News article is about the crimes of the company. In The Economist’s report they stated “[The insurance regulator] did not spell out …show more content…

While political opinion is a very touchy topic in most circles because of the massive divide in opinion, the majority of people would be happier without politics in their life because of the endless drain of debate upon all levels of society (Cropanzano). In the Fox News article on the 2018 CPAC they present Trump in a very positive light. Fox News was completely ignoring the fact that he was arguably calling for political mob violence, instead presenting the use of the term “clobber” as a political rally point (Pappas). It is difficult to find a article on Fox News of substance and wit, let alone unique

  • Media Bias In Brave New World

    1619 Words  | 4 Pages

    Objectivity has nearly become nonexistent, and "For years, Americans' political press has been stuck in a fact-free model of neutrality, often covering even the most obvious lies as 'one side' of a dispute," (Introduction). The publishment of these lies and giving them the title of an argument is feigning neutrality, which fools the public into believing all the media is producing. Equal coverage has also been a major issue in media bias. For example, in this past presidential election, “the mainstream media labels a Republican candidate with a slew of phobics to paint him as an awful person, while they seem to put the Democratic candidate on a pedestal or report less harshly” (Ostmann). Determining equal coverage between the two political parties is a touchy subject, but it is apparent that Trump received the brunt of the attacks on his past then his opponent did. Even if it had been the other way around, the media should be held responsible for their devious actions. For the media, it is all about the story, which they will spend hours and hours fine tuning until they are able to fill their likes, views, and subscriptions

    In response to James Fallows’ four premises in his “Learning to Love the (Shallow, Divisive, Unreliable,) New Media,” April 2011. I must say that while I want desperately to argue against his fears, as I am an optimist at heart, I cannot. I have turned this over and over and I have to say that with only a few points of specific contradiction, as a whole I agree. I believe that this is becoming an age of lies and idiocy. I agree that already there is a tendency for media to follow dollars instead of issues. I believe that we Americans are becoming more isolated. Finally, our ability to concentrate is not only undone by technology, but also by our own expectations to be entertained by the media. However, I do not think that the responsibility lies totally with the Gawker.coms of the world, but within ourselves. This is a trend that has been a long time coming. And, like a train down the track, it cannot be easily stopped.

    has come to have an adversarial press—the tendency of the national media to be suspicious of officials and eager to reveal unflattering stories about them. This cynicism and distrust of government and elected officials have led to an era of attack journalism—seizing upon any bit of information or rumor that might cast a shadow on the qualifications or character of a public official. Media coverage of gaffes—misspoken words, misstated ideas, clumsy moves—has become a staple of political journalism (WDB 294).

  • An Analysis Of Donald Trump's Speech

    1516 Words  | 4 Pages

    Donald Trump is very effective in the article because of his easy to understand language, tone, use of parallelism, and style. As a politician running for office, he has to make sure the terms he uses can be understood by the audience without a fail. If he throws in an professional word, the audience could get caught on its definition rather than the content of his speech. Throughout the whole article, there is not one word or phrase that would require prior knowledge to comprehend. Even if the content is clear, a politician must speak the words appropriately to be taken seriously by the audience. If Trump were to be comedic about the severity of guns, the public would disapprove of him and his ratings would decline. Donald Trump’s tone is serious, caring, and a mixture between angry and passionate. He has to be serious about guns, since they are a deadly weapon. In addition, there have been numerous violent school shootings and riots that have occurred recently making the subject grimmer. He adds in a sense of compassion when he brings up the idea of fixing the mental
