Media biasness has been an issue that has been affecting the mainstream media for a long time. Some of the media stations are caught broadcasting some irrelevant news to their audience, and this can be termed as lack of objectivity. Lack of content by the media stations has contributed to such incidences making the journalists add their perspective regarding the story rather than providing the details of the event as they happened. <\/p>\n
One of the issues that shocked the American nation is the news regarding just passed presidential elections in the United States. During the presidential debates, Donna Brazile was caught with the allegations of helping the Democratic candidate by leaking some of the questions that were expected to be asked during the presidential debate through an email. Various sources covered the story, though, with the main aim, they also differed in the content to which was provided. <\/p>\n
1. Politico magazine:<\/p>\n
Title: Brazile: Leaking town hall topics to Clinton campaign ‘mistake I will forever regret.’ <\/p>\n
Source- Retrieved from: https:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2017\/03\/donna-brazile-hillary-clinton-leak-regret-236184The story was covered by Aidan Quigley on 17th march of 2027. The author of the post was not much biased as the article is short and brief providing all the necessary coverage about the story. The narration is full of paraphrases and direct quotations from the person\u2019s mouth and therefore cannot be termed to be biased. There is almost no contribution by the author concerning the issue apart from the introductory paragraph that the author uses to introduce the event. Despite the author restraining from being biased, he then provides other irrelevant details rather than about the leakage where he says that \u201cthe broadcasting organization CNN dropped Brazile as a contributor after the revelations\u201d. This article, therefore, can be termed to have less biasness. <\/p>\n
2. Washington Examiner <\/p>\n
Title: Donna Brazile finally admits she shared debate questions with Clinton campaign<\/p>\n
Source- Retrieved from: https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/donna-brazile-finally-admits-she-shared-debate-questions-with-clinton-campaignThe story was written by Eddie Scarry on March 17th of 2017. The author of the story provides much of his contribution to the story. One of the occasions that the author provides his explanation is \u201cFor months, Brazile has avoided confirming that hacked emails from the campaign showed her forwarding the questions, which were asked at separate debates. But in a new essay for Time magazine looking back on the hackings, she said it was true.\u201d The quotation is an explanation by the author about the past denial by Brazile that she had leaked the questions and here there is no incidence of the direct quotes from the victim implying that the author also contributed to providing their information and analysis. Through providing these analyses, the author gets out of the topic and therefore can be termed as being biased. Most of the other work is a rephrase of Brazile quotes while others have been directly quoted from her words. The post, therefore, is no heavily biased as still despite getting out of topic a bit, the author provides related information to the topic though not relevant for the moment. <\/p>\n
3. ABC News<\/p>\n
Title: Donna Brazile: Passing potential town hall topics to Clinton camp ‘a mistake I will forever regret.’<\/p>\n
Source- Retrieved from: https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/donna-brazile-passing-debate-questions-clinton-camp-mistake\/story?id=46218677The story was covered by David Caplan on March 18th of 2017. The story gives accounts concerning the allegations of Brazile leaking questions to the Democratic presidential aspirant Hillary Clinton. The first two introductory sentences can be termed irrelevant though has some contributions to the story. The first comment by the author is \u201cFormer interim Democratic National Committee chairperson Donna Brazile has for months been dodging questions about passing along potential topics to Hillary Clinton’s staff in advance of a CNN town hall — but now, she’s speaking out and calling the misstep “a mistake I will forever regret.” Here, the author can be seen providing his contribution to the story of which can be termed as being biased. <\/p>\n
In another sentence, the author continues to tell their story which are not direct words nor rephrases of Brazile\u2019s quotations. \u201cEmails from Clinton campaign Chair John Podesta’s account were released in October by WikiLeaks showing that the then-CNN contributor had forwarded potential topics ahead of a town hall last spring.\u201d The author, therefore, provides narrations that he perceives to be relevant rather than providing the direct accounts regarding the information of admission by Brazile considering that the main topic is about Brazile admission of leaking information and therefore we expect much of the story to be her quotations. However, the rest of the story has been rephrased with other parts being in direct quotations. By providing his accounts, the site can, therefore, be termed to be biased. <\/p>\n
4. The Washington Times <\/p>\n
Title: Donna Brazile admits leaking debate questions to Clinton camp: ‘A mistake I will forever regret.’<\/p>\n
Source- Retrieved from: https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2017\/mar\/17\/donna-brazile-admits-leaking-debate-questions-to-c\/The story was covered by Douglas Ernest on March 17th, 2017. The author as well in this narration has provided his own story rather than providing the direct quotations from Brazile, and this has been added to lengthen the story. The added story \u201cStolen DNC documents that were published by Wikileaks during the 2016 U.S. election season revealed Ms. Brazile\u2019s efforts to assist Ms. Clinton\u2019s campaign, but she ignored or denied the charges \u2014 until now. Although she told ex-Fox News star Megyn Kelly on Oct. 19 that Wikileaks dealt in \u201cdoctored\u201d emails, the former DNC head said Friday that the emails were \u201ca mistake I will forever regret.\u201d The author adds this part of the narration as his contribution to the story making the news source be biased in a way. <\/p>\n
From the above stories, we can, therefore, assert that most of the authors or reporters of the stories are subjected to being biased, and this mostly happens by the authors giving their contributions either directly or indirectly to the story. Most of the authors provide an addition to lengthen the story and to make it seem credible rather than keeping it short and brief to point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
