Press Coverage
Elizabeth Warren
After a quick “Google” search
of Elizabeth Warren the first thing that pops up is from USA Today with the
article titled “Warren fires back at Obama on trade.” Then the second article
that pops up is also regarding the trade war but it’s from the Huffington Post
and is titled “Obama: Elizabeth Warren is Simply Wrong on TPP.” Then the third
thing that pops up titled “You can’t read this” and is from the website Elizabeth
Warren for Senate.
The USA Today article is
clearly just summarizing what took place, what Obama said and what Warren said,
basically just allowing readers to play catch up in this Democratic spat.
The Huffington Post article basically
recaps of what he said (Obama) she said
(Warren), but still allows the readers
to be informed of the situation and shines a positive light onto the Democratic
Party.
The last article is that from
elizabathwarren.com and in this article it is obviously from her (Warren) own
people. The article is very descriptive and uses quotes from Warren’s speech
that she gave in regards about the trade and she points out how wrong it is for
Obama and his team to be denying the public people right to be aware of what conditions
are involved in the trade. In this article it highly demonstrates the “Press
Coverage” of what we have learned about this week from the chapters we read.
Warren’s team is trying to control the situation, by releasing their own
statements, their own tweets, reaching out to the media on their view points.
But, like we learned higher ranking government officials pull the most rank
when it comes to “press coverage” and controlling the media and what is said,
therefore Obama is getting more press coverage on this issue with Warren than
Warren is.
This is the video of Warren explain
her thoughts, points of views, and what’s really going on with the
Trans-Pacific Partnership Trade Agreement. (It’s about 8 minutes long, just so
you know.)
Friend or foe?
The way the Huffington Post
article and USA Today article talk about the spat between Obama and Warren isn’t
necessarily a negative trait that could harm Warren’s campaign for president if
she ever does decide to run. If anything, articles like these help set Warren
apart from Obama and really making her the “Different Democratic” that the
Democratic Party badly needs for the 2016 presidential election. However, for
Elizabeth Warren specifically the only media that could help her is the press
coverage from her own team and supports if she ever changes her mind and does
decide to run for president. However, with the different view point of
President Obama could be a turning point for Warren and she could end up
deciding to throw her name in the hat for the run of the Democratic nominee
against Hillary Clinton, she’s a pistol and as a support you really have no
idea what Warren has up her sleeve.
I think it says a lot about Warren's character that she was not afraid to call Obama out on something that was not fair. This is the first time I am hearing of this issue though, so do you know if anyone else has commented on the issue? Such as Hillary Clinton or any other potential candidate for 2016.
ReplyDeleteWhich do you think is the best type of coverage for Warren?
ReplyDeleteMorgan, I don't believe that any other "potential candidate" has commented on the issue with Obama but then again I do believe it does say something about Warren's character in the fact that she isn't afraid to be true to herself and her beliefs. TJ, I believe the best coverage is media coverage and her own channel on youtube.
