Fox News Trump on Mexico Article

Fox News published an article on April 4, 2019, Thursday. This article was titled “Trump gives Mexico a ‘one-year warning’ to stop drugs, migrants, or he will tax cars and close border.”

Within the title, we can see the problem Fox is addressing, which is Trump threatening Mexico to tax their cars and close their border. The author is a reporter from Fox named Adam Shaw.

According to Fact Check/Media Bias, Fox News is “Right Biased,” where writers for right bias will usually uses loaded language, especially to protect conservative views, which is similar to Daily Kos, where they use loaded language to support left bias (Fact Check/Media Bias). If any news or reports contradict or could potentially harm conservative views, right bias sites will omit information to support their views.

In this article, I found it to be very focused on what Trump “said.” However, when and where he “said” these things is not cited or referenced. It just put quotations around what Trump said. This pushes the reader to do more research to fact check him.

Also, how much information is Fox News hiding or not sharing in this article? There really isn’t much links or sources to dig deeper going from this article itself, which doesn’t make it really reliable or dependable if you want the facts. Throughout the article, there are links to other Fox News articles, which would further support their views.

Trump has demonstrated to not really be well established, whether he is conservative or liberal. With Fox News though, I am skeptical if they kept information to support conservative views.
