The type of stories written about Donald Trump are typically in reference to radical changes he is attempting to pursue. The stories include the way Trump speaks about using CPAC to attack news media's use of anonymous sources. This was my example of a liberal news outlet, as CBS is known for being a channel with a reputation of being a liberal news outlet. The most most common media outlets I have discovered in use from Donald Trump include in this order from most to least television, internet, radio, magazines, and newspapers. News stories from different outlets cover stories about Donald Trump in different ways in that a bias can occur depending on where the outlets are coming from. A bias towards the information will also result in a difference from the outlet stories. This is in fact the biggest issue with differences occurring form the outlets being covered. I see bias manifested in the stories themselves in examples such as the way people on Television from sites known for being either liberal or conservative making it clear the way they feel about Trump alongside the information they are sharing. This is where the aspect of being bias becomes an issue with the media. The news outlet from Donald Trump covering various topics off of ABC shows the bias they have having a more conservative news outlet. From what I can tell their are several people and aspects going into who is generating the news. So many people are trying to get their word into the media and be heard.



Donald Trump is known for being the king of the media, and allow for an opening to several for topics to speak upon. Trump has people in support and against him generating news over him on a daily basis. I think this is because of the fact that Trump is such an important figure to our nation as President. People are always going to looking into depth on big issues or even the smallest issues when involving Trump. It is just a matter of if the person speaking out and generating news is in support or against Trump will sway the way the message will be portrayed to the audience. If I was advising my candidate I would focus on advertising news stories of positivity Trump has brought to the nation along with hard work and dedication coming from him. I would be pitching news stories to reporters of all types of ways Trump is doing great at his job, and avoid negativity being brought upon him. News stories such as the way he is helping out the people of the United States of America with the intent to make our country improve as time goes on during his term as our President.

I choose this news outlet, because it seems to entirely just point out facts. The news outlet has a minimal amount of bias in my opinion. Overall it states facts and focuses on the point it is trying to get rather than opinionate what is being said within the news outlet.

This SNL skit represents my candidate in a way to make you think he is a puppet and ignorant to almost any subject he attempts to talk about. They exaggerate how he talks, making him quite a bit more ridiculous than even Trump is at his worst. Saturday Night Live loves taking shots at Trump as they continued to have similar skits to this for about an entire year. These skits attempted to provide a negative image of who Trump is. It attempts to possibly show people he is not very smart with his decision making skills or things he decides to say. This would attempt to take away from Trump credibility for being a suitable president. However, SNL is known for making a joke on several famous people so the majority of people will see this as nothing more than a joke. His public image does perceive to be similar to the way they in some instances portray Trump as during this skit. Mainly the way Trump has trouble filtering out things he should probably just keep to himself. They also manage to attack the way Trump is known for having a seemingly obvious ego.



This does not portray the way Trump would like to be seen at all. It goes completely the opposite of that in fact. He would like to be the leader of our country. In other words, able to figure out difficult situations. Not a man with no idea what he is talking about lacking intelligence on all sorts of topics. Trump even spoke out on Saturday Night Live most notably on his Twitter. Saying things such as how SNL is just flat out not funny at all. Trump seemed to let this get under his skin which is a bad move on his part. He should no matter what in my opinion act as if the things they are doing on that television show do not effect him in the slightest amount.


This skit relates best at attempting to portray Trump with all the negative things popularly said about him exaggerated and highlighted. When he is asked about political topics he has ridiculous responses to all of it. The show attempts to show how Trump is uneducated politically on all the important topics going on in the real world. They also point out the way he is rude to others when asked questions, showing off his attacking personality. He has been given plenty of criticism in the way he seems to consistently be rude to anyone who asks him a question he does not enjoy.
