Huckabee: There Better Not Be Doritos At Your Super Bowl Party

Decent Essays
This week I chose an article called Huckabee: There Better Not Be Doritos at Your Super Bowl Party by Kelly Frazier. The article discusses presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's distaste for Frito Lay's partnership with the It Gets Better Project which is aimed at fighting anti-LGBT bullying and giving hope to those who are being harassed. People who donated to the It Gets Better Project would receive via mail a limited edition bag of Frito Lay's Rainbow Doritos. According to the article Mike Huckabee's issue is that Frito Lay is affiliated with Dan Savage however nothing else is mentioned. Thanks to an article from ABC News I found out that Huckabee and Dan Savage have had a tumultuous relationship for several years. Huckabee's campaign sent

    “The Plastic Pink Flamingo: A Natural History”, written by Jennifer Price, talks frequently about the bright and daring colors that represented America’s culture in the 1950’s. Most industries and products all included flashy shades and vibrant hues, designed to impel light on the past for those that lived in the dreadful era of the Great Depression. It did fulfill its purpose; or at least it seemed to. The way she truly felt about the actual American culture, wasn’t necessarily expressed through just simple words. Although, when reading closely and thoroughly, it becomes very obvious that she makes American’s to live out a humorous and comical way of life through her diverse satirical strategies.…

    In his book, How Partisan Media Polarize America, Matthew Levendusky formulates the argument that the American political culture is affected and moved to extremes by the influence of partisan media. Levendusky first constructs a clear outline of the content of his book, then introduces a series of hypotheses that illustrate the core of the effects of partisan media, then follows with an extensive elaboration of the acquirement of empirical data to support his claim, and finally concludes by applying his findings to greater societal consequences. In the first chapter, Levendusky questions whether or not partisan media have “troubling normative consequences” on the American political atmosphere (Levendusky 5). He introduces four important…

    News media has controlled the way information is broadcasted and presented to the public. Articles surrounding constant controversy can be written in different views regarding bias against the major parties involved in a controversy. A great example of these bias in news media is the current ongoing separation and divorce battle between Hollywood heart throb Johnny Depp and soon to be ex-wife Amber Heard. With both parties having their share of fans it is no surprise that media outlets are willing to present bias information to adhere to the overall voice.…

    " True, Engberg might have richly deserved his comeuppance for slamming Steve Forbes like a basketball. Yet if Goldberg honestly believes that his strong rebuke of his own colleague (and friend), published in a major newspaper, does not represent a "personal attack," then he is living on the moon--or perhaps his own antagonistic style has numbed him to offensiveness except when he himself is its target. Goldberg's op-ed was the opening volley in a full-blown feud, and his book is the latest missile in that confrontation. His polemical style throughout would certainly indicate as much. He does not qualify as an innocent victim of the network's…

    As for Trump, you see him gallivanting with the rich and famous, attending Hollywood events, and posing with beautiful women. The article clearly aimed itself at taking a hit to Trump’s image, as opposed to truly comparing the two candidates over time. In another biased move made by Buzzfeed News, they reportedly said they would not publish any ads related to his campaign, and even backed out of a million dollar deal with the RNC after Trump became their presidential nominee (Gold, Allen, Spence, “BuzzFeed pulls out of $1.3M advertising deal with RNC over Donald…

    By only focusing on what is happening in one’s immediate world and falling back onto focusing on those who reaffirm one’s beliefs, a confirmation bias is created making it simple to fall into a social media niche. Via social media, there are two ways to reach many people, write something incendiary and receive an influx of hate/support, or keep to non-political issues and focus on noncontroversial items. Social media are an overall distraction from important problems. The manipulation of the media can be entertaining, such as satirical sites like the Onion. But when other websites are less well-known, it can cause confusion and spread ignorance.…

    (Quijano) asking “ 'why did he kill my son? '” and “ 'ask him [the president] what that noble cause was '” ( Quijano). These direct statements for the source herself, Cindy Sheehan, prove that Quindlen did not make a fallacy with her information, just with her choice of words/placement. Compared to Stokers article, Quindlen 's article appears full of emotional appeal to get her audience to join her in her 'Bush hating club '. This sharp contrast in Stoker 's article can be seen as he states, “When the…

Anthony Velocci, previous supervisor in-head of Aviation Week and Space Technology, an exchange magazine, watches that two days before exhibiting its appeal to the Department of Commerce, Boeing ran a full-page ad in three conspicuous daily papers demonstrating Donald Trump going to a Boeing plant "to celebrate jobs. The Canadian government responded to the objection against Bombardier by recommending that Boeing is not any more a "put stock in accomplice" and showing that it might wipe out its arranged buy of fly contenders from the Seattle organization.
