For this assignment I chose Fox news as my resource. It didnt take long for me to find an article that would catch my eye. I noticed one that was titled "republicans accuse Obama of waging class warfare with millionare tax plan". The tittle alone gave me an idea of what the article was going to be about. my thoughts about the whole job reform situation is simple, i think that it is fair for millionares to get higher taxes. It will help the economy. Although some may disagree and have very great reasons why, it doesnt change my opinion though. In this article they tried to frame Obama and being anxious and basically not knowing what he is doing. Obama i the president and one can assume that he does have an idea of what he is doing but people can totally make it their own story by the power of their thoughts and opinions, Fox news seems to be totally against Obama and that alone frames this article in a negative way towards Obama. The reason why this article makes sense for those who it is directed to is because it is declaring how wrong and bad it is. If i was a millinaire i wouldnt want to be taxed higehr simply because i make more money but i guess since i am not it doesnt affect me and i really dont feel like its a bad idea. So it makes perfect sense for a rich person with a high income to be angered and upset about the change and tax increase. because just like that it could happen to us the middle class people where we get our tax increases as well. it would be upsetting because it would minimize our income increadibly. Whe the chaneg will not affect you it doesnt feel so personal and we tend to not really complain about it as much. Like if my car broke down i would be terribly upset which so happens that my car did break down this weekend and that led to a terrible weekend. I told my friend about it and she felt upset for me but the feeling went away almost instantly. why? well it didnt affect her thats why. and just like that the framing issue becomes less personal to those who are not affected.
