Recommended: Do politics influence the media

In yet another blatant display of bias from the liberal media, I share the interview questions from Thursday with U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill on Morning Joe. Interviewing a member of the prestigious Senate Armed Services Committee should be an honor right? A real chance to dig for details about the chance for peace in Korea, perhaps they even ask her about the collapse of Obamacare in Missouri? Wrong. Leave it to MSNBC to spoil a grand opportunity to dig deeper into pressing issues such as North Korea or healthcare in favor of questions clearly designed to bash Republicans and the democratically elected President of the United States. Thereafter, the fawning session begins with Morning Joe host Mika Brezezinski asking the Senator not just once but twice, how she perceived Rudy Giuliani’s comments about adult film actress Stormy Daniels. Furthermore, after Brzezinski comes just short of praising McCaskill she very visibly pleads with her “How does anything actually move forward for this country, for the people of your state, in an atmosphere like this, which is breaking down the foundations that we were built on, that this country is supported by?” If you were hoping the interview would steer into policy that’s …show more content…

  • It Is Time to Expand Medicaid Coverage in South Carolina

    1167 Words  | 3 Pages

    The leadership’s decision not to expand Medicaid leaves between 300,000 and 400,000 South Carolinians without health insurance (South Carolina Medical Association, 2012). The stated intent of the Affordable Care Act, pejoratively dubbed “Obamacare” by its critics, was to put affordable health care within reach of more of the 40 million Americans who lacked health insurance. The law’s grand design included an assumption that states would expand their Medicaid programs, since the federal government would pay 100 percent of the expansion costs through 2016, and 90 percent thereafter. But in demonstrating its traditional mistrust of Washington’s promises, Columbia declined the offer and, in the process, left thousands of low-income workers without the means to obtain health coverage, either because they cannot afford the premiums or because their employers do not provide it. (Advisory Committee, 2013). Ironically, in a state where the median annual income is $44,600, South Carolina’s working poor earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid; however, they would be covered under the ACA model (Hailsmaier and Blasé, 2010).

    The film, Good Night, and Good Luck, discuss the main conflict between Senator Joseph McCarthy from Wisconsin and the staff of CBS news. This conflict was due to McCarthy’s anti-communist actions with the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. McCarthy was accusing various people of being involved with communism. Due to the minimal amount of media outlets these accusations made it near impossible for the people “blacklisted” to find work and destroying their quality of life to the point that many committed suicide (Sasanow, 1).

  • Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act: Pros and Cons

    1398 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the most controversial topics in the United States in recent years has been the route which should be undertaken in overhauling the healthcare system for the millions of Americans who are currently uninsured. It is important to note that the goal of the Affordable Care Act is to make healthcare affordable; it provides low-cost, government-subsidized insurance options through the State Health Insurance Marketplace (Amadeo 1). Our current president, Barack Obama, made it one of his goals to bring healthcare to all Americans through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. This plan, which has been termed “Obamacare”, has come under scrutiny from many Americans, but has also received a large amount of support in turn for a variety of reasons. Some of these reasons include a decrease in insurance discrimination on the basis of health or gender and affordable healthcare coverage for the millions of uninsured. The opposition to this act has cited increased costs and debt accumulation, a reduction in employer healthcare coverage options, as well as a penalization of those already using private healthcare insurance.

  • The Commonwealth of Massachusetts' Health Care Plan Analysis

    982 Words  | 2 Pages

    In April of 2006, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts enacted a type of universal health care. Every citizen in the commonwealth had to acquire some form of health care. Companies of eleven or more people were also required to purchase healthcare for their employees. This provides people with many options of health care, while still requiring them to have health care. Massachusetts has successfully used this system for the past four years, but it is not without problems. There is a severe lack of primary care physicians. While many of those uninsured before the plan was passed have now gained health care, they cannot find a primary physicians. This has caused a large influx in people using the emergency room for basic care rather than using a doctor more appropriate for the situation. In actuality, the health care program in Massachusetts was supposed to prevent the use of emergency rooms for non-emergency situations. Insurance is also still very expensive; the necessity for everyone to have insurance has not lowered the price of healthcare. It is also not a priority for many of those who live in the commonwealth. Those who would rather pay the tax fee do not end up buying insurance. The compulsory healthcare system of the commonwealth of Massachusetts does make insurance more readily available to their citizens, but it does not create a more affordable or more useful health care system. The commonwealth of Massachusetts has a revolutionary heath care system, but it needs to create more doctors, better affordability, and encourage more people to get ‘buy in’ to the health care plan.

  • Hillary Clinton Rhetorical Devices

    He describes her as “a careful, methodical, tightly-controlled politician,” a “progressive, and a “pragmatist.” Compared to Pruden, McManus uses more of a calmer tone while not implementing such harsh diction. He still finds a way to judge Trump, though. He includes, “Trump and his lieutenants have complained that the news media — sorry, the ‘corrupt news media’,” to show Trump is not supportive of the media. He ends his column with ‘In the increasingly unlikely scenario that Trump wins, the consequence could be worse.” Through his examples, McManus is implying that Clinton is the better candidate running for the presidency. He claims, “Yes, she sounded distinctly chummy in her sessions with investment bankers. She didn’t excoriate the firms that were paying her hundreds of thousands of dollars; she soothingly told them they weren’t the only ones responsible for the financial crash,” and “But she still gave them a warning. “Even if it may not be 100% true, if the perception is that somehow the game is rigged, that should be a problem for all of us,” she said in a closed-door speech in 2014. ‘If there’s wrongdoing, people have to be held accountable, and we have to try to deter future bad behavior.’” He repeats the term “yes” as if he is answering the questions that are used against Clinton during the campaign and supporting her through examples of why these

  • Social Work Interview Paper

    Interviewing and research skills are needed within the social work profession. Effective communication skills are one of the most crucial components of a social worker’s job. Every day, social workers must communicate with clients to gain information, convey critical information and make important decisions (Zeiger, 2017). This interview experience was an opportunity to explore the daily challenges and rewards of a licensed social worker. I was excited for the opportunity to interview a social worker in the gerontology sector as this is a specialty I am considering. This meeting allowed me to explore the educational steps of being a social worker, practices of the agency, the clients who are served, and the challenges the agency has.

  • Essay On Medicaid

    1506 Words  | 4 Pages

    As of February 2014, three million previously uninsured citizens had signed up for Medicaid and CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) programs. Unfortunately, 5.7 million people will be uninsured in 2016 because 24 States have chosen not to expand Medicaid. (http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/04/17/fact-sheet-affordable-care-act-numbers) A report in USA Today (4/30/14) proposed that “states that have not expanded their Medicaid programs as part of the Affordable Care Act risk larger-than-ever gaps in overall health between residents of their states and those that have expanded Medicaid… it is possible that geographic disparities in performance will widen, and health care inequities within states worsen, if such health system reforms and innovations are not evenly spread across states.”

  • Media Bias In Municipal Politics

    Likewise, Wagner believes that the way women are presented in the print media depends on the “variations in circulation, publishing frequency, and newsroom size” of the different newspapers (2010:39). According to her, these factors necessarily have an impact on the way politics is covered, which is something that Bashevkin doesn’t take into consideration (Wagner, 2010:39). Through her research, Wagner has discovered that “major-circulation daily newspapers”, like the Edmonton Journal, tend to portray female politicians in a negative light more often than other newspapers (2010:46). Also, according to her, they are more likely to talk about women’s emotional state (Wagner, 2010:46). Wagner still believes that municipal media express doubts
