The writer does this by presenting facts that support their argument. Within the editorial, the writer states that” while investigating 2,300 foreclosed properties in 38 metropolitan areas between 2011 and 2015, about a third of those properties in minority areas had more than 10 problems, while only 7 percent in white areas had that many”. This statistic is meant to shock the audience and provide a factual foundation for the writer’s claim. Throughout the entire article, the Editorial Board mentions the Fair Housing Act of 1968, and how Fannie Mae was in violation of it. The law is something every citizen must follow, so the fact that corrupt companies like Fannie Mae decided to violate the law, suggests that they are unprofessional and are in fact capable of the accused allegations.
This display of disloyalty would lead to, “Kennedy, once in office, arranged for attacks on Krock to run in Newsweek, and was disappointed that they were so mild” (Wills 87). Wills uses this one example to really enforce the idea that the Kennedy’s were interested in one’s loyalty, but at the first sign of opposition, they were willing to destroy someone. One could not work for the Kennedy’s unless they vowed their loyalty, but Wills shows that the Kennedys didn’t care to repay that loyalty. Chris Matthews, who is quite fond of JFK,
The book Bias written by Bernard Goldberg explains how the liberal media distorts actual news and as a result impacts society negatively. Goldberg joined CBS News in 1972 and retired 28 years later, in 2000. Goldberg describes the distortion in present day due to no diversity of opinion in the newsroom, so no matter how many news executives go on about diversity, about ethnic, and racial diversity and how much they say we need that to go out the full story about things, they don’t seem to care much about intellectual diversity or diversity of opinions. This is why journalist can bash on a certain side or cheer the other side and wont fear about what will happen. Goldberg views Conservative news as evil and liberal media as right.
Bias may change the way a tone sounds, or the experience of something may showcase an entirely different light then to what people were taught. Fear was spread, and sugar coated words romanticized a very horrid event. The darkness of something glorified can be revealed in a few simple words, and the suffering of people can be masked. Andrew Jackson showed the Indian Removal act as something good for the country, why Michael Rutledge showed the true horror of what was hidden and masked over for so long. Showing a different side to a story.
His ability to be a puppeteer to media sources like television and journalism enabled Hoover to give slander about his personal enemies and enemies of his country. John Edgar Hoover was a mastermind at collecting detrimental political information and how to use it, specifically targeting communists, New Left activists, and civil rights leaders (Gauge). The significance of Hoover’s manipulation is that sometimes, it was done out in the public, with public support. Hoover’s manipulation of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was greeted with a fair amount of public support, and the FBI was behind threats made against him. J. Edgar Hoover also utilized media to display a bona fide image of himself and his FBI, by controlling what was covered and how it was covered, which glorified the good the Federal Bureau of Investigation without mentioning the things the FBI was doing under the table to get to the

Kennedy starts off by telling us how the world and freedom is in major danger, being close to a nuclear war, telling us that it has the power to end the human species (3). The next point made is that we should “... never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate” (Kennedy 15). This means that we should negotiate to make a means with that someone not because we have to negotiate to stay safe from that someone. Kennedy then says that the goal would to have the world work together to explore problems, have a common arm control and be equal in weaponry power, and work together to unlock new sciences (16-18).
for the same reasons as stated previously. This antithesis is used to solidify, and band the young and the old people together and make them work together to achieve Kennedy’s ambition of creating the perfect and powerful nation, where his people would be united with brotherhood under one purpose, seeing themselves as equal beings, setting their differences aside and this
These small details are used all throughout to enrich the claims that Kennedy is
She uses such descriptive language that she makes the audience think. Kennedy doesn’t use as much descriptive language. Their message is also different because Quindlen makes it seem as if it is okay to discriminate. “Historians today bemoan the ascendency of a kind prideful apartheid in America, saying that the clinging in ethnicity, in background and custom, has undermined the concept of unity” (Quindlen,14). Kennedy thinks the opposite.
I believe that the media impediment is one of the most used impediment in the Martin Luther King conspiracy, because everyone has their theories from information that they gathered. An example of a media impediment that I found scrolling through Twitter last year was a tweet about how Martin Luther King Jr. survived his “assassination” at the Lorraine Motel. The tweet explained that: “MLK actually survived his assassination at the Lorraine Motel; he was suffocated in his hospital bed.” (Twitter). The tweeter said that she learned that information from the book Orders to Kill: The Truth Behind the Murder of Martin Luther King by William Francis Pepper.
Throughout 1984 we see this illusion of knowledge and how this has affected the people of Oceania. Having the illusion makes it easier to manipulate and have control over people's thoughts and emotions. Controlling media outlets and installing common enemies is something that The United States does today. Through Operation Northwoods we see both controlling information and common enemies. In both The United States today and Oceania depriving knowledge is the best way to control the
Kennedy can see that the country is afraid of the future that will present itself after the Cold War and beyond. It is clear that with war and chaos, it is easy for citizens of the world to turn into their own beliefs and stray away from each other. When using antithesis, Kennedy juxtaposes what being divided or united can do for all citizens. Starting his speech, JFK states, “United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do (Kennedy 1)…”
Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms-- and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations.” Kennedy continues to use “ Let both sides” grab the attention of the audience and show how important this subject is. Another literary device Kennedy uses is symbolism. For example, “ The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of
A hero, an Pulitzer prize winner, a U.S senator, the youngest America president, John．F. Kennedy ，gave a great speech: the Presidential inaugural address of John．F. Kennedy. Through this speech, he used parallelism and repetition to talk to the Americans and the Soviets that he wanted to solve the problem with Soviet Union through a peaceful and noble way, however, he did not fear military force that America was strong and powerful enough to fight against the Soviet Union. JFK stated that the right thing had to be done just because it is right. According to the eighth paragraph of the speech: “not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right,” which JFK used parallelism to express his opinion.
