    A poll done by the Knight-Gallup foundation is reviewed in this article by MTSU in which the author, Ken Paulson, gives his thoughts on the polarizing effects of how American Media has changed from being simply separated by partisanship to a new era of inflamed division. Paulson cites the poll by Knight-Gallup to show that public opinion coincides with his own views in that our media is too heavily biased and is to blame for political division. The article has a strong close bringing readers to be introspective as to why the news articles in which they might place blame are continuously fired up by views and demand.

    An online article explaining the impact on trust in social commentary that 24 hour news agencies and social media has on society. The recent explosion of social media and online presence has skewed public relations to current events, and made it easier to disseminate false narratives as fact in order to sway opinion. Concluded by the idea of the 'echo chamber' being used by current media outlets to segregate in order to polarize communities and create barriers.

police reputation crisis - 3 views

  •  
    Negative news coverage, social media reports, and viral videos of police interaction, which has a negative impact on how law enforcement is viewed. Not every report is the cop not doing his/her job correctly. The news is not always truthful. Police are not appreciated for their dangerous job.
  •  
    Respectfully, I think a website named "cops" talking about police may have a little bias supporting one side of the argument. It's really important to remember this because this concept may invalidate a paper in the future!
  •  
    I agree with the article and your stance on this. Police officers definitely receive a lot more flack than they deserve for simply doing their jobs.

    This is a really great resource, I read it and couldn't think of any questions that the site hadn't already answered about the topic. I think it is reliable because I couldn't find any bias, it is a somewhat recent post, and it provides factual information with credible support.
