Blog 10

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.

  1. 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.

  2. I 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!

  3. It 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
