.2) and “touted”(Gore Promises, p.1). While words or phrases to describe George Bush’s Activities are: “unloaded on Gore”(Presidential Candidates, p.1), “tore into his Democratic rival”(Presidential Candidates, p.1) and anticipating a Bush win”(McCaleb, Presidential Candidates, p.1)I think it is easy to see by the choice of words that Al Gore is described as an animalist, brutish, and harsh character while bush is described as confident and respected person.Lastly, the discussion on policy was geared toward trading words in a boxing fight. Rather than taking a stance and discussing what the “real” effects of the policy proposals will have if they had taken effect and allowing the readers to make judgment regarding the better of the two proposals the articles quotes comments made by both candidates towards each other and the effect of the others proposals “will really have”. Most of the articles quoted George Bush “bad mouthing” the character of Al Gore while Al Gore was saying his proposals are bad. It is clear that support by this media is focused towards the election of George Bush. Some other examples that will help make my point are: they make an attempt to show that the Democrats are becoming desperate and “are more willing to tailor his addresses” (McCaleb, Presidential Candidates, p.2) will change their strategy because it doesn’t seem to work while Bush never changes his strategy to say that Gore will do or say anything to win and there is a brief discussion of Bush’s tax plan but there is no discussion of Gore’s tax plan.In conclusion, I hope that I have made my point that the media is very biased. It is in these subtle but very dramatic steps that are used to imbed ideas in the minds of readers. I should say that there are non-profit organizations that say they provide unbiased coverage but can’t alway...
