Entry # 3 Slant In the Media

Bias is something that you would expect media outlets to avoid however every news network is biased towards something or other and this article is a perfect example. In 2017 Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel which caused even more bad blood between Israel and Palestine. In the interview a CNN host interviews and Israeli Ambassador. Her questions seem innocent enough but when she asks "Look I know this is a day you have wanted for a very long time and I know it matters a lot to you. That is important. But, of course, the situation that we’re seeing now is crucial, the State Department warning of violence because of the move, leaders of countries throughout the region, across Europe, warning of violence, Palestinians calling for three days of rage. A crucial question for you tonight, Ambassador: are you willing to accept violence and the possible death of Israelis in exchange for getting what you have so long desired?" I find it funny how she casually states that a country doing three days of rage is a normal thing. Every time the Ambassador would answer a question the reporter would have a look on her face like she wasn't buying what he was selling.
