Slanted report#3

    

    The news is not infallible often times they get information wrong. Sometimes this is just an honest mistake. The news has to get out really fast and sometimes reporters make assumptions that are wrong. Unfortunately in a lot of cases this is not true. Sometimes because of the companies bias, a reporters bias or both the new comes out incorrect. It is hard to know what news is actually true at times. This is were slanted news comes in. People who critique the news on it's stories so that they are called out for making a mistake. I will be critiquing one of these by slanted. I will be looking at how it tries to convince you that it is true and that you should trust it.

    One of the ways it tries to convince you is in the way that it is structured. It shows an event then it gives you what actually happened. The structure is more like a what the news said happened then what actually happened. I also think that her tone of voice and vocabulary speak for themselves. Her tone of voice is professional when going over the truth and the lies. Her word choice fits this tone of voice. There is some accusations that the information that the news has is wrong, but she basically told you that from the begging. You also have the amount of evidence in this video every point is made with evidence. all of these details give this article a very logical flow to it. 

    Another thing I liked about it was how the author handled her ethos. At the beginning she showed that she had wrote a book on the topic of journalism. This shows us that she put a lot of time researching this topic. This also gives us what side she is on. She also ends by saying that she worked for some of the organizations that she was critiquing. This shows us that she has a good idea of the workings of a news organization.

 

    I think this post is a little bias to the republican side of things. It mostly shows left side news organizations their distortion of the facts. To  be fair she is talking about president Trump so it makes sense that most of the fake news would be on the left.
