Summary Of Rhetoric, Government, And Citizens By Dan F. Hahn

A liberal is a person that believes that the government should provide equality for all, while a conservative is a person that believes in limited government and that the government should provide the necessary freedom for people to pursue their own goals. Over time, it has been argued, mostly by conservatives, that there is a liberal bias in the media. Liberals have combated this idea with the belief that conservative media is devoted to making efforts to invoke fear and division in the general public. Though liberals make a fine counter-argument, it is easier to observe that the media is liberal-biased. The liberal versus conservative debate can be compared to facts versus values. Another reason for bias within the media is that a significant percentage of minorities, or smaller groups within the population that are often thought to be poorer, politically identify themselves as liberals. To make these minorities feel like the government is on their side as well as everyone else’s, the media must accommodate the needs of these minorities. Because of this, the media becomes liberal-biased.

"You don 't get the chance to make America great by getting rid of everything that made America great,” Stated by Hillary Clinton during her campaign rally in St. Louis, Missouri to attack candidate Donald Trump from his previous diverse rhetoric. Political Rhetoric has been very popular in today’s society. Politics use this as a platform to criticize other candidates about important points that are essential to the United States and its citizens. Not only does others believe that political rhetoric is out of control but it is a negative form of art. During election time, the media and the internet are critical for candidates because it gives them easy access to the younger audience. Although social media is enormous in today’s society, this is the best way for young voters to make their voices heard. Scott Keeter a research analyst and exit poll analyst for NBS News stated that “Young voters have given the Democratic Party a majority of their votes, and for all three cycles they have been the party’s most supportive age group” (Keeter, 1). According to U.S. Census Bureau over the course of time the rate of younger voters “Dropped from 50.9% percent in 1964 to 38.0 percent in 2012” (U.S. Census Bureau, 2).However, the media continue to evolve with modern society. I believe that rhetoric such as visual political rhetoric helps the youth to get more involved with the political arguments while being educated and entertained at the same time.

believes that the news is more in favor of liberal’s biases. The news is characterized more neutral in political stances and letting the audience left to drawn their won conclusion bases on the reporting being presented. With biasness people could agree with a certain party or may have an opposite outlook.

Bias is a particular tendency, trend, inclination, feeling, or opinion (“Bias”). In the media bias takes place when a news network or reporter takes a certain stance on a matter or person. “…The U.S. has an overwhelming leftward tilt, mostly on social issues, but also on economic matters (Carney).” Anyone who disagrees with the liberal perspective is a target for media bias. A recent example of media bias towards a person is Doctor Ben Carson. As a Republican candidate running for presidential office in the upcoming election, he has spoken out against liberal beliefs and opinions.

Media bias is a topic that has been in great focus of many political leaders over the past few presidential elections. However, what many people fail to see is that media bias has been around since the beginning of major news companies. Most Americans do not know what media bias is or how to identify it. That stated many people have noticed that most news stations are biased towards one religion, political party or even gender. This has been like this for decades however has become much more prominent during major wars, the great depression and many social and political reforms such as the industrial era or the civil rights era. However the type of bias has been shifted mostly from a war focus and the focus on exposing corruption to

Political ideologies, so many different types of political parties and their ideologies that institute a party’s beliefs and values. Political Ideologies are conceived ideal by the state’s population to lead a country. Within every political party formed, there are sets of rules which corresponds with voter’s morals and beliefs. However; usually, there is an abstract understanding of other party’s focus and origins that aren't defined correctly because of how a biased media displays stereotypical ideas about opposing political parties. Conservatism is an ideology that’s confusing. Some say Conservatism started during England’s industrial revolution or France inter-revolution, but these origins are incorrect as the origins of conservatism

When we're born we become a blank slate, but as we grow older we're conditioned by Government, society, and those around us. With this said, comes great bais in opinions and how we see things. That leads us to a question called " What is Bias In media?." "Leaving one side out of an article, or a series of articles over a period of time; ignoring facts that tend to disprove liberal or conservative claims, or that support liberal or conservative beliefs; bias by omission can occur either within a story, or over the long term as a particular news outlet reports one set of events, but not another.” Media Bias can be found in many networks like CNN, FOX NEWS , and NBC.

Conservatism can be thought of as an idea that has been derived for more than just a few decades. The core impression of Conservatism is that it is practical and must modify oneself altering contexts. This reason alone brings up numerous discussions concerning whether Conservatism can be labeled as an ideology or not. When someone is defending the thought of Conservatism being an ideology. One must first describe the meaning behind what an ideology is. An ideology is an established idea and principle that clarifies how associations should work. It bargains a civil plan for public order, and concerns itself through power, and how it should be assigned and expended.

One of the easiest ways to see the influence of media bias is through the election season. Political propaganda has a major effect on potential voters during this time because of the magnitude of the event. There was a study done in 2007 that discovered that Fox News, who is known to be republican bias, had convinced 3% to 28% of their listeners to vote republican (Knight, Chiang, 2008). On the reverse side, readers of the primarily democratic Washington Post’s probability to vote democrat, increased by 8% (Knight, Chiang, 2008). What this shows is that in a

Ideology refers to a set political ideas and this can be from ideas about sexuality, race, gender and much more. Every single text is a political text because every text has an ideology whether it is reproducing the dominant ideology or challenging it is unimportant.

If one were to wonder about the most critical fact about bias in the media is, Tim Groseclose answers: in the average presidential election, only seven percent of news correspondents to Washington vote for the Republican candidate, with the rest overwhelmingly voting for the Democratic candidate. A famous study that supports this was done in 1995 by Elaine Povich, who works at the Media Research Center’s Freedom Forum. Povich was also a reporter for the Chicago Tribune and Newsday. In her study, she surveyed one hundred and thirty-nine chiefs of the Washington Bureau, as well as congressional correspondents. Only seven percent of them said they had voted for George H.W. Bush over Bill Clinton. In 2004, columnist from the New York Times John

There are many arguments when it comes to this issue. Some people think that the media has a liberal bias; some people think that there is a conservative view. The real issue is that there is a bias opinion and this is changing the way that people perceive the media. According to Tyler Cohen `Media Bias Is Not a Serious Problem' it doesn't matter that the media has a biased opinion. He states that people are aware that the media is bias and because of that they keep in mind when watching. He also states that people want to watch stations that have the same opinion as them (2005). Most people to watch specific news stations that do have the same belief as them, but we should be able to watch whatever station we want and be able to get the same type of information.

Political ideology is more or less an outline of a voters political morals and beliefs. Most Americans associate them self’s with a political ideology, Politicians associate with ideologies as well to better communicate with the voters and to get their vote. The two prime ideologies in America are conservatives and liberals. Conservatives want limited government when it comes to making fiscal and moral decisions, and big government when it comes to enforcing Christian values such as denying equal rights for marriage and the removal of abortion. Other conservative views include believing in individual self-reliance, tradition, laws and morality, low taxes and social affairs. While Liberals largely support justice and equality, and oppose government regulations on civil liberties. Among equality liberals believe in strong government, freedom from government intervention in social conduct.

Ideology is “a set of opinions or beliefs of a group or individual. Very often ideology refers to a set of political beliefs or a set of ideas that characterize a particular culture.” What will be discussed is the political side of Ideology(or better known as Political Ideology), which is a very controversial “hot-topic” issue, that is always being discussed in any setting. In the United States, there are two main sides, the Democrats and the Republicans. Democrats are “a member of the Democratic Party or someone who believes in equality for all people and ruling by the majority.” A Republican is “an advocate of a republic” which is “where you live in a country with a leader who was freely and democratically elected by the people, as

Mainstream media such as television is a large factor into media bias. For example, CNN tends to lean liberal in most areas while Fox News tends to lean conservative. Research conducted at Harvard University found that, “The CNN programming studied tended to cast a negative light on Republican candidates – by a margin of three-to-one. Four-in-ten stories (41%) were clearly negative while just 14% were positive and 46% were neutral.” Charlie Rena, former Fox News producer, wrote that Fox News would ‘slant’ the daily news to fit the president at the time, George W. Bush’s (Republican) agenda. “...unlike the AP, CBS, or ABC, Fox News's editorial policy is set from the top down in the form of a daily memo: "[F]requently, it also contains hints, suggestions and directives on how to slant the day's news—invariably in a way that was consistent with the politics and desires of the Bush administration." Both of these examples from CNN and Fox News
