Those three main news sources are Fox News, CBS News, and CNN News. All three sources had both similarities and differences about what they said towards the shooting in Los Angeles. Fox News is considered to be a conservative, libertarian, and independent news source, which means that it does not really discuss political or religious topics, has its own views about certain things and does not depend on others authority, and lastly, it believes in the philosophy of free will. Unlike any of the other type of news sources that are out there, Fox News provides a lot of information about an event such as who, what, when, where and why an event occurred, instead of just sticking to one point of the story and leaving out the rest. The online article, Fox News, in Suspect detained in connection to shooting reported at California high school, places its attention onto many sections of the topic as to explain different parts of the story. The online article mentions the age of the suspect who is a fourteen year old boy, and the victim who is a fifteen year old student who is attending Highland High School in Palmdale, California.

The article also mentions that the suspect was accused of attempted murder. The article further mentions the type of gun that the suspect used, and that they fired the gun more than once. It is however specified that the suspect was located and apprehended about a mile away from the school near a grocery store. Unlike the other two articles that were mentioned above, the purpose of this article including the part of this being the twenty first school shooting in the United states since the start of the year, was to use the idea of propaganda, and grab the attention of anyone who was looking for more information about the

The film also criticizes Fox’s “right-wing” Republican propaganda and its lack of honesty, accuracy, balance, and credibility.

Fox shows this bias through many elements such as their reporters, the angle they choose to go about covering their stories, hosts such as Bill O’Reilly, and “paid” guests brought on air.” These methods directly object their slogan “we report, you decide.” In reality, Fox decides and reports how they want to report.

There is an attitude in America that “guns solve problems”, this can also be seen by the fact that “74% of gun owners say that the right to own a firearm is essential to their freedom (CNN-1)”. American’s see guns as a fix to most situations.

Also one would not think the media would be reporting based on one side of politics or the other. The media is extremely biased when it comes to politics and news. While some of the media is conservative-biased I believe the mass media is liberal-biased. Majority of media outlets are liberal companies, media personnel and journalists will identify themselves as democrats and liberals more so than republicans or conservatives and lastly the left side (liberals) of the mass media is persuasive on what information to report.
