Marilyn Monroe was and still is an iconic sex symbol known for “the shot seen around the world” (Stapinski 1)…

On January 7, 2015 Empire premiered on Fox. The show quickly gained a strong fan base. Not far into the first season Empire was ranked one of Fox’s number hit television shows. Empire is about the hip hop and entertainment company, Empire Entertainment, and the drama among the members of the founders’ family. It is about their fight for control of the company.

The Bolenders took care of Monroe, and often had visits with Monroe’s mother (Morgan Ch. 2). Seeing that Monroe was not at this point in her life, owned by the state, I concluded that the Bolender family was not a foster home as we Americans know or imagine them to be.

Have you ever watched the news in the evening, and saw that maybe Kim Kardashian and her family are on Fox News at 8? Or have you seen the commercial with the little hungry kids that you can feed for only “ 35 cents a day”? Well, in today’s world, that is considered media biased. Media bias is the perception of reporting news in a partial or prejudiced manner. It occurs when the media pushes certain viewpoints, rather than actually reporting the news.

Nine months ago the Mr. Clean | Cleaner of Your Dreams commercial aired and it was a sensation. It has a strong appeal to pathos and logos but not a strong support on the ethos end. The timing, or kairos, for the commercial also played a big role in how well it did. The commercial stars Mr. Clean and another woman who he begins to clean with around the house.
