CNN also reported that Nancy has shown a great disliking for Mr. Trump during the process of this election based on her tweets about him. The tweets are listed below:

Now, as it is shown, one could argue that the extent of Nancy's "dislike" for President Trump is somewhat overblown. When looking at the context of the this article, one could argue that Kelly was using buzz words like "disdain" in order to appeal to those in support of Trump. By using hate words to express Nancy's feelings toward President Trump, a negative light is undoubtedly shined on Sinatra, which in-turn causes an outrage for those in support of him.
As stated above, this whole article originated because Nancy, allegedly, responded to reporters about the news of the Liberty Ball by telling them to look at the first line of the aforementioned song. The line is, "And now, the end is near." Whether this is true or not, it seems that Kelly is grasping for straws to find a story out of nothing.
Regardless of this, the article is written in such a way that would appeal to the devout support of Trump and thus incites a reaction out of this crowd. On the flip side of the coin, those who do not support Trump may find this article discouraging because it painting people, who share their same beliefs, in a negative way.
I think that this article holds better appeal to those who support Trump on the matter. I say this because it ignores the legitimate concerns that a U.S. Citizen is having with Trump and it is being spun into an attack on him. The writer simply uses carefully selected words and images from social media to portray Sinatra negatively without giving the full context of the story.
Sinatra later responded on Twitter with the following:
As you could probably guess from the title, I don't think that Frank would be too pleased with how his daughter is being shown in the media. I don't think any parent would be too pleased, quite frankly.
Ok, like we discussed: This sort of "he-said, she-said" celebrity silliness amounts to not much more than a distraction. Were a reporter to do a story about whether or not Nancy Sinatra's comments about Mr. Trump were reported accurately, I might wonder what that reporter's job actually was - and I might seriously consider firing the editor who sent the reporter out (unless we're talking about TMZ or another show-biz site).
ReplyDeleteFor this project, your artifact selection ought to be something that could be classified as propaganda - or at least as a significant effort to influence public opinion. Please let me know how I can help.
I see what you are saying. Originally, I chose this incident because it seemed to me like the reporter was trying to use Nancy Sinatra as another example of feminist hysteria against the Trump campaign.
ReplyDeleteHowever, after reading your comment and our discussion, I see where I missed on a few key elements of the original assignment.
For my second post, I will be sure to find something more concrete in regards something as propaganda or an influence on public opinion.
Thank you for your critique. My next post will be solid.
