Greetings Fellow Bloggers

Hello bloggers, on this blog page you will find useful information related to POLS 3380, or Mass Media and Politics. Over the course of this semester I will be adding material relating to material that the media covers up when it comes to politics and its constituents. I feel that since we will voting on our next president in the near future this is the perfect subject matter to help you make an informed decision about who you choose as the next president of the United States. 



Feel free to tweet any of the information in this blog by incorporating the following: 
(1) #politicalawareness 
(2) #mediacoverup
(3) #POLS3380
(4) #2016presidentialelection


Do you have any others to add to this list; if so, feel free to leave them in the comment section and I will add them to this list. 

Happy blogging!!

The Political Insider: Obama Cover-Up

Hello bloggers,


This week I have decided to start with a cover-up story that the media so graciously did nothing with, yet again confirming my disbelief in trusting media coverage.




In an article written by Alexa Coombs from the Political Insider, she wrote about presidential candidate, and current president, Obama, and a promise he blatantly made to the American people, but one that, like other politicians, he has yet to handle.

Here is one of the sentences from the article:

"As a candidate, Obama promised, “As president, I will recognize the Armenian genocide.” It’s been crickets since and, unsurprisingly, the media isn’t calling him on it." 

In this same article she cites Newsbusters who states: 

"This will be the seventh anniversary that Obama breaks that promise to be honest about what one U.S. ambassador once called a “campaign of race extermination.” Yet ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news shows have mentioned that failed promise only once during the Obama presidency. That occurred on April 12, 2015. "

This article ends with Coomb asking American citizens to expect more of their political representatives.
