“#Cuomo scandal article shows how biased media<\/a> shapes opinion<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re wondering why so many distrust the media, a recent Associated Press story<\/a> about Gov. Andrew Cuomo is a good place to start. In recounting the number of politicians calling on him to resign, the AP wrote:<\/p>\n

The escalating political crisis has spawned an impeachment inquiry in an overwhelmingly Democratic state, and threatens to cast a cloud over President Joe Biden\u2019s early days in office. Republicans have seized on the scandal to try to distract from Biden\u2019s success tackling the coronavirus pandemic and challenge his party\u2019s well-established advantage with female voters.<\/em><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t an opinion piece, or even one of those disingenuously labeled \u201canalysis\u201d stories. This is a news<\/a> story. One in which the writers inserted a biased, factually incorrect paragraph.<\/p>\n

For starters, Biden came into office with a COVID-19 vaccine already invented and being distributed. He\u2019s ordered more, as any president would do, but how is that a success? He\u2019s barely done anything to, for instance, get kids back into school.<\/p>\n

Next, \u201cRepublicans have seized.\u201d Funny how if a Democrat is mad about something, it\u2019s reported straight, but Republicans are always pouncing or seizing \u2014 as if their actions are strictly motivated by politics. Perhaps they are simply outraged by Cuomo\u2019s behavior.<\/p>\n

It takes a special kind of clairvoyance to think Republicans are motivated by Democrats\u2019 \u201cwell-established advantage with female voters,\u201d which sounds more like a humblebrag than a legitimate point. One of the ways you can sniff out bias is by reversing a sentiment \u2014 that is, would a reporter ever write about the Republicans\u2019 \u201cwell-established advantage with male voters\u201d? Fat chance.<\/p>\n

Remember, too, that this is in a story nominally about how many Democrats have called for Cuomo\u2019s resignation. Are they using the scandal to distract from the border crisis? Did Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez \u201cseize\u201d on the scandals to criticize a moderate Democrat in favor of a more progressive replacement? These motives remain unexamined.<\/p>\n

This is how the liberal media shapes opinion, through framing and adjectives. Think what would have happ<\/a>ened if Chris Cuomo, the anchor who fawned over his brother, was a Republican. He\u2019d be labeled \u201cthe controversial CNN host\u201d as coverage openly called for an advertising boycott or firing.<\/p>\n

Americans have seized upon such dishonesty, but it\u2019s doubtful the media will ever learn.\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n
