  Politics are a big thing in America right now. People have the argument that current political climate is the biggest thing threatening American democracy. So if politics are a big thing in American culture it makes sense that our news sources are a big influence on who we are. It should be important that the news we get unbiased and just fact based. This idea is mostly true but certain words change the meaning to pull it into a certain idea, this idea works both conservative and liberal. We are these idea through CNN and Fox News and how they reported the Muller Report.

Fox News shows the Muller Report as a win for Trump. They focus on this as a win for Trump focusing on the detail that this doesn’t exonerate him. They didn’t talk much about how this report didn’t say that he didn’t collude with Russia. They framed this has proof the entire thing was just a waste of American money and that Trump was innocent all along and that they knew it the entire time. They only focused on people who were on Trump’s side and praising the Muller Report and how it found him not guilty as well as talking about this framed the Democrats in a bad light. They take Trumps tweets as a statement against the democrats and think he is being a leader, we can see this by the use of the word “declare.” Which was in the title of this article.

CNN on the other hand took the Muller Report as reasons to be more suspicious of the Trump Administration and that we should be digging more into this as this is “suspicious” CNN used the idea that Trump wasn’t found innocent and that this was a reason to dig closer into this and find out why this happened. Even when accepting the fact that Trump was found “not guilty” they talked about how Russia still interfered with our election and how we should take that seriously as that is a very bad thing. They also talked about how Trump's answers were seen as "inadequate" which proves the idea that Trump is an idiot which some liberals believe so it keeps that idea of him in check.

  1. I think that CNN is right to be suspicious of Trump. I don't know too much about this specific event, but I do know that Trump has been using the money he receives for his wall at the Southern border because "he's the president and can do what he wants." He claimed that there was a "national emergency" at the Southern border just because of the influx of immigrants into the United States.This is just one thing that I think supports all reasons to be suspicious of Trump. And I also think that Trump is an idiot, too, just so we're clear.
