Image result for cnn vs foxMedia allows individual know what is going on in the political the political world. Depending on what source outlet an individual uses to receive updates on politics. Most news/social outlets have an biased opinion when it comes to politics, that can alter someone's beliefs which affects in who they decide to vote for in the political run. I chose to pick 2 big new outlets Fox and CNN. Fox are seen more of a republican outlet while CNN is seen more as a democrat outlet. I’ll looking at both and what they believe in when it comes to immigration and deportation.

They have assimilated to the american culture. They as well face a language barrier. While the war in syria progresses many people are let homeless and look asylum in foreign countries. In early april U.S. president trump refused asylum to any syrian refugees. This can be tied back to my current event because trump is against illegal immigration. He has came out on tv and talked his dislike on the latino/a population. I find this article to be convincing because they have a video of a syrian couple talking about their experience. As well they have multiple other stories and experiences. As CNN is known for their liberal point of view. This presents a bias because they talk about the positive income of the refugees/ immigrants. They state “The United States has a long and proud history as an immigrant nation. But those communities have been left paralyzed by fear following President Donald Trump's sweeping immigration reforms.” They strongly believe that immigrants positively help the economy and should be welcomed to U.S. This can be seen every one sided due to the fact that they do not talk about the downside of more immigrants that come here looking for a better future. As well can put us in danger of terrorist attacks because we might be holding one to many refugees/ immigrants. I feel the target group is people who lean more towards a democratic or liberal ideology and people who have an immigrant background or who are immigrant themselves. This article spreads awareness of the hardships on foreign by giving background information on the syrian war. This creates sympathy for the reader by knowing how people fled to other neighboring country and facing operation.

The officer was on duty with his partner. They seem to believe that he was ambushed and killed by rocks, his partner was not killed. Ingraham places the blame on congress for not listening to trump and building the wall on the southern border. She also explains how drugs and thugs are coming coming from that border but all that illegal activity does not just happen on the border but as well 18 miles inland. This poses danger to U.S citizens and also people who properly migrate here. A little more than a decade 37 or so border patrol agents have died on the line for work. Ingraham believe congress could have stopped this by listening to the president america has elected. They asked for the families to have closure and the culprits to be comprehended. Ingraham calls the people who cross the southern border illegally has thugs and criminals. The illegal immigrants do more harm than good. This article is relevant to my current event project because it shows how some american think the worst of the immigrant population. I would find this article convincing if they did not incriminate all immigrants as thugs, drug dealers, or criminals. I find if they presented a video with the fallen offices partner which explains what happened that night it would give more background information. A republican or conservative point of view is presented. Some of their ideology is that immigrants do not help the economy. They seem to be one sided because they believe and trust in presidents trumps souther border wall. They want to keep out illegal immigrants down in the border. They seem to be close minded. They say they were ambushed and accepted but not proof or evidence was presented which makes the article one sided. Their ignorances is presented and it can be clearly seen because they do not seem to complement the immigrants in any way. This source is probably targeted at middle age white people who have republican/ conservatives ideology. This might influences young readers because they are being exposed to the dislike and hatred targeted to the immigrant population because they are only presenting the bad action immigrants have done. By only presenting one side opinions they shape younger people's minds
