It was really weird
seeing how CNN didn’t have many pleasant things to say about Hillary. I was
actually impressed when they did give her a few compliments after reading it
all, but most of this article was all about how Hillary should stop where she
is a cut her loses. After this past presidential election, Hillary jumped right
back into the swing of things, running around the country, spreading knowledge
and still taking shots at the Trump administration. This author feels as if she
should stop, going as far as to name the article “Hillary Clinton, it’s too
soon” which is obnoxious in its own. Hillary has made it her mission to make
the United States a better place and Timothy Stanley, the author was right
about her being 108 and still running. She is literally surrounding her entire
life around doing good for our country, which even if it’s not the best, she
still deserves credit for.
Here is where I thought
they would really give Hillary a hard time and really give her a negative connotation
but to my surprise it wasn’t all that bad. I’d say they were more civil with
her here, even in the interview I feel as if they were more level headed with
her. The sound bites in the article itself just catch her admitting to her
mistake but they don’t really go after her about anything. I was almost certain
that the interview would be just a bunch of leading almost like the “Between
Two Ferns” But it seemed as if they were actually just getting information from
her in this segment which is a nice change up I guess. Keeping the snarky
comments to a minimum makes for better news anyways.
Again, like I thought,
this is more of a laid back article about Hillary. It speaks on how she was
working on a book about her experience during the 2016 presidential election. I
think it was a good mix of just reporting a little criticism. I felt that this
was a pure new piece, since it didn’t attack anything she had done and it didn’t
make her seem much better as well in the process. It literally just talking
about what she was planning as well as reported on how she has been quiet since
the election of Donald Trump. So this is everything I expected from a more
mixed new outlet.
I feel as if Hillary
herself is the one generating her news. Most of the things I had seen being
reported on were her, Benghazi incident, her illness and her loss to Trump. I
feel like her media team hasn’t been capturing her lately to kind of give her a
little slack coming off the exhausting campaign. If I was one of her team
members I would capture her more with her family now that the campaign was
over. She had always had her best moments when connecting with her family. It
made her seem more of a people person. She should also work on connecting with
the younger generation now after she had tried so hard to get their vote. I
feel like if she didn’t well then this younger generation will feel used for
their votes and that might leave a bad impression from the Democratic Party,
which in turn will lead to future problems with that political party.
I also thought it interesting that the stories I found through CNN and Fox were a little less biased than I imagined towards Hillary. Moreover, I agree that most of the stories that came out about Clinton developed because of her own actions.
ReplyDeleteI found the same thing when I was looking at more conservative news outlets. I was expecting much more negative rhetoric but overall it was neutral and just stated facts. I agree that maybe the media isnt giving her as hard of a time because of how crazy of an election season it was. Good post!
ReplyDeleteIt is really interesting that CNN decided to ease off of backing Clinton after the election. It almost gives the impression the the Clinton News Network was actually the Anti-Trump TV station. That holds true with Fox easing their siege of Clintons image as well. I am a big fan of BBC, they do a good job of focusing on the isssues more than the actual people
