Perloff pg. 73 (source 4)  http://www.npr.org/about/ethics/ (source 5) http://www.prlog.org/10122241-2008-usa-presidential-candidates-personality-styles.html (source 6)  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/01/09/chris-matthews-obamas-s_n_80805.html (source 7) On the "Morning Joe" on MSNBC, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and Willie Geist hosted Chris Matthews. As they discussed, and individually gushed over, Barack Obama's concession speech last night, Joe said, "If anybody in America has heard a better speech in modern American political history, please email me." A visibly moved, sentimental Chris Matthews then chimed in with his account of an Obama speech he attended days before: "It was the best speech I've ever heard. ... And I'm tearing up, and I'm writing down notes, and I'm trying to keep track of this thing. ... His heart must've been broken last night." It appears Chris' was as well. (Source 7)  Although journalism is charged with reporting the news in a fair and unbiased manner, it has changed politics and skewed the way the American public looks at candidates because political races have now become entertainment, political reporters are not objective because they are now part of the political scene, and newspapers focus on the personalities of the candidates instead of the issues.” Individual journalists should find as much information as they possibly can and report the truth. The newspapers that publish their articles should provide a forum for public criticism and compromise, and keep the news comprehensive and proportional. In a time of national crisis such as a Presidential election, this is important because when news is unbiased, people feel that they are reading honest, just and unbiased news” (Source 1). According to National Public Radio, “unbiased” means that “we separate our personal opinions - such as an individual's religious beliefs or political ideology - from the subjects we are covering”. They also set the standards for “fair” that requires the media to present all important views on a subject”. (Source 5)This range of views may be encompassed in a single story on a controversial topic, or it may play out over a body of coverage or series of commentaries. But at all times the commitment to presenting all important views must be conscious and affirmative, and it must be timely if it is being accomplished over the course of more than one story. This shows that journalism should produce fair and trustworthy material that people can believe. If a paper that is known for reporting equal and reasonable news says something non-respectful about a president or political figure, the people who felt that the newspaper is just, honest and equal, will believe that the president or political figure is in the wrong.  “The news media are autonomous institutions that have their own criteria for determining which aspects of the presidency should be highlighted” (Source 4). Studies show that 70 percent of Americans said most journalists wanted to see Obama win. This is important because it shows how the public perceives media to be stations biased, or favoring one candidate. News channels went to the extreme in advocating for Presidential Elect Obama and Senator McCain. The Microsoft/National Broadcasting Company (MSNBC) and the National Broadcasting System (NBC) have produced over 30 articles in 2008 supporting Presidential Elect Obama’s Campaign. “MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews declared it was his job as a journalist to make sure that the Obama presidency is a successful one. On a Facebook poll, the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) news asked users if a Democrat president could keep America safe but failed to ask the same about a Republican president. MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews declared it was his job as a journalist to make sure that the Obama presidency is a successful one. This shows that the media has been deliberately influential in persuading voters to cast their vote for the candidate supported by their company.”(Source 2)  Throughout the entire election, Newspapers have seemed to write about the personalities of the candidates and their running mates. Prlog.org says that Joe Biden is  “ a self-admitted, Outgoing style, known to talk a lot, at times too much--his much-publicized gaffs.  Biden is empathetic, friendly, and enjoys positive, optimistic interactions with others. And while he is quick to praise others and looks on the bright side of things, when confronted either directly or by surprise attack he might need time to develop an effective response.” (Source 6) Prlog.org neglected to inform the readers of Joe Biden’s views of education, healthcare, or abortion. Later, Prlog.org stated that presidential elect Barack Obama “has a Controlling-relaxed-introspective style that is creative, persevering, strategically analytical, and strong on people-insight and observation skills. He may not create a warm, approachable first impression (aloofness) but he is naturally adept at developing one-on-one relationships” (Source 6). They didn’t show Obama’s view on healthcare, immigration or gun control. Prlog.org stated that Sarah Palin is “entrepreneurial, charismatic, Controlling-generalizing big picture politician”. (Source 6) However, the website didn’t state her beliefs on the war or taxes. Prlog.com states that John McCain “reflects the Controlling-generalizing style with a leadership style of survivor/rogue POW experience/maverick. Typically, this style does not excel academically but is stress-hardy and independent. This style will work tirelessly on a few key issues, to the exclusion of issues deemed less important”. (Source 6) However, they didn’t state the John McCain wants to keep the troops in Iraq and supports the war.
