After Watching the Debate on (insert date here) i thought that Sarah Palin would make a terrible president for America. Not only did she deliberately dodge questions she did not want to answer (a technique you cant use in the real world) but she acted ridiculously stupid with her "Hockey moms and Joe Six Pack" comment.
I thought that NBC covered the debate terribly afterwards, putting 3 WOMEN commentors, all who may of not believed that she did an amazing job but all who agreed that she was on the offensive during the debate. Personally i believed there was alot of sexism bias even from Geraldine Ferraro which disappointed me, having great respect for her. But she blatantly added that Palin dodged many questions she did not want to answer i decided to turn the television off and go to bed.
I believe that saturday night live seemed to capture the humor in the debate with the overuse of "Maverick", the love of McCain, and the uncanny looks of Tina Fey. The only thing that i did not like was the pointing out that the moderator (Gwen Ifill) was biase which i believe was completely untrue. Because of her anti-Bias Palin got away with dodging the same question up to two times! Even Biden angered at Palin's dodging and when Ifill asked Palin again, she dodged again.
All in all the debate was interesting but deeply disturbing, seeing as we have people as politically blind in the business of politics.
1) The first article that shows sensationalism in their technique concerns Oprah Winfrey. The first note is the headline, which announces in big uppercase letters, “OPRAH WINFREY SUED…” Already, the reader is attracted by the fact that such a celebrity has been sued, and at least they’ll read the rest of the headline to learn that she was in fact sued by sex abuse school headministers. The second article’s headline has the same characteristic; it says, simply “Obama Nude!” While the article is a complete fraud,) it certainly grabs one’s attention.
2) Politics and reviews show the least amounts of objectivity. The first subjective article I saw was on the New York Daily News site. It was about Sarah Palin's ‘less than successful’ recent TV interviews,” which the writer called “just her attempt to keep Saturday Night Live in business.” This article shows the writer’s opinion towards not only Palin but also SNL. The second article concerns the insults thrown between Obama and McCain. The author seems to show a support for Obama, asking “the Real John McCain to please stand up.”
3) News, particularly in sports, is usually the most objective. In the article “Rangers Open 2-0 vs. Lightning,” found in the New York Post, the author simply states the facts and sums up his information. As much as he might like the team, he certainly doesn’t show it. The second article’s title is, “Final farewell for NYPD Lieutenant Michael Pigott following suicide.” It also speaks the plain and simple truth.
