Media Bias

In Newspaper Production class with Mrs. Hurt, each class you are assigned to go on news websites and read 3 different articles and write down the name of each of these articles. For 4th quarter of senior year, I’ve decided to write down articles from Fox News one day and CNN the next. Every newspaper class I switch between these websites to compare their political views. Everyone knows that CNN is a strongly liberal news agency that seeks to demonize Donald Trump and pose him as the enemy of the American people. On the other hand, Fox News has been trying to pose the Democratic party as full of lunatics that are going to ruin the country. All I know is that neither agency is innocent and devoid of bias in the political field.

Examples of Bias Article titles

Here are just some of the bias articles I’ve found over several months of collecting them from these two agencies.

Fox News:

Happy tax day? It is unless you’re a Democrat

Trump is strengthening America and its allies

CNN:

Why this is bad for our country

The two agencies are further increasing the divide between the Democratic and Republican parties. These divisive article titles are pitting their supporters against each other and are creating a competition between the two parties to see who can be superior. My advice to you would be that no matter what side you think you’re on, we are all in this together as we are all Americans. There shouldn’t be any sides at all, and we should all work together to make this country a better place rather than try to gain superiority over the other party that is the “enemy.”
