The only major problem with the article is being outdated but most of the information and findings are relevant
Since the beginning of his campaign, President Trump has often portrayed himself as the victim of the liberal media and “fake news.” While every person should make a habit of checking their sources, it is my assertion that the media’s attitudes towards Trump have benefited him greatly. A common comparison somewhat alike to the chicken and the egg, is whether the media accurately represents events or creates them in their depiction. In my view both instances are present and valid in one’s attempt to analyse the media.
Society expect to be constantly entertained; they have become so concerned with things such as who the latest star is dating, scandals, or dumb people doing rather idiotic things. Much of society have been consumed in their personal instant gratification and what makes them “happy”. When on an off chance that news does show things that are serious and impactful(not necessarily positive things that is happening in the world) people have become so numb that the best they could do is feel sympathetic and at worst continue on with their day. The other part of the problem is that those behind what is being published and shown on the news media have been absorbed in their avarice nature, whatever allows them to make as much profit they do. “Writing thousands of hours of coverage from what could have been summarized in a couple of minutes every few weeks, a new rhetorical strategy was developed, or-let’s be generous-evolved”(6), Saunders describes the new formula formed by mass news firms that would yield the most profit.

Maureen Dowd’s article, “Game of Trump” (July 15, 2017), examines the “chaos” that consumes the current situation in American Politics, in which Dowd argues that the “chaos” results from Donald Trump becoming the president. Dowd uses a play on words to compare Washington to the fictional tv show, Game of Thrones. Dowd points out the critical flaws made by the president and his family in order to show Americans that if they pay close attention to the White House, they will see that Trump’s presidency is not beneficial to the country. Because the article’s content goes into politics and current events, in this case, criticizing Donald Trump’s presidency, Dowd writes for an educated audience that has a similar political bias.

Authors of USA TODAY, David Jackson and Jessica Estepa discussed how effective Donalds Trump’s remarks were on the Charlottesville Va. terrorist attacks in their article titled, “President condemns white supremacists.” This article was written to show how Donald Trump’s responses were either effective or ineffective. News about the recent Charlottesville Va. attacks began to surface every media platform back in August of 2017. The country was stunned by the hatred that was imposed on the innocent civilians of Charlottesville and hoped for a productive response from the president. Jackson and Estepa shared excerpts from Trump’s speech in which he stated, “To anyone who acted criminally in this weekend’s racist violence: You will be held fully

However, the author used one anecdote to build up his theory and then continued searching deeper till he was able to find two more examples to anchor his point of view. With the lack of ethos as a rhetorical appeal or credible statistics, the author chooses to present the topic from a very personal perspective. In addition, an argument is normally discussed from different point of views. The author should have considered including counter-arguments and refuting them to make his article more
Climate change is increasingly recognized as a major challenge. It is widely accepted that the greenhouse gas emissions caused by humans are having a negative impact on the environment. The most important greenhouse gas, arising from human activity, is carbon dioxide (CO2). Virtually all human activities cause the CO2 emissions that lead to climate change. By using electricity generated from fossil fuel power stations, burning gas for heating or driving a petrol or diesel car, every person is responsible for CO2 emissions.
