"Narrowcasting" - Obama and Islam, right wing Fox News directed... - 0 views

  •  
    This video is a good example of right wing narrowcasting. It is obvious that this is directed to Fox News viewers. Not all Fox News viewer would agree with the statements made on this video. This is more focused to anti-Islam and anti-Obama supporters. The language used by the newscaster is very specific and persuasive. It is generalizing and directly connecting Islam with terrorism. Here is an example: "Islamic killers are the central problem on this planet." In my opinion these are radical ideas themselves. It shows some evidence and pictures relating Obama with Islam. These are there to tie Obama to the negativeness that the newscaster has already said about Islam. We can see that this is an example of narrowcasting because this will not appeal to most people. It will most likely appeal to a certain group of people which this video was made for.

    As we know, freedom of speech is an example of a Civil Right. Many countries do not allow bias media to be published, or if they do allow it, it is usually for their own benefit. This video and some ideas expressed could be offensive to some people and many would not like it (me.) But this is one of the beauties of this country. I could respond to this video with something bias on my side without a consequence from the other party that will endanger my security. Sometimes the picture could get dirty or might not be pretty, but at the end of the day it is something we should be grateful for, civil rights.

Booze Blues: Utah's Laws Make It Tricky To Get A Drink - 1 views

  •  
    Interesting regulations on alcohol in Utah, which are part of Utah's public policy. Some of these are a bit ridiculous (in my opinion). This is another example of the blind relation between church and state. Legally, it is not linked. However, the policy makers apply their religious beliefs into the law. There is a clear relation between the state and the Mormon faith. There are certain rules like: restaurants or bars have to keep a curtain over the location of the alcohol...

    Again, this is not a formal or scholastic article. However it gives a pretty good idea on the policy making system in Utah... PS: I need help finding articles that are more formal.

    This is more of a current event rather than a article... However, it is an example of a civil right being protested. It is calling for racial equality concentrating on the inequality facing African Americans. Chicago has been a major spot for the movement of Black Lives Matter.
