Skyler Tepedino - Trump Doesn't Own a Bathrobe

Summary: 
This is a comical article about the press and president Trump. Press Secretary Sean Spicer told Monday that the press got their facts wrong. The New York Times reported, "When Mr. Trump is not watching television in his bathrobe or on his phone reaching out to old campaign hands...sometimes set off to explore the unfamiliar surroundings of his home." This is a bit sarcastic, but it presented a false accusation. After this, pictures of Young Trump in a bathrobe circulated twitter.

 Analysis:

I liked this article because it's pretty funny how we can't really trust the news. I remember Denzel Washington saying something about if you don't read the newspaper your uninformed and if you do your misinformed. This is pertaining to this kind of media because they wanted to give a picture to support their claim even if details weren't true. This is an example of yellow journalism because they sold part of the truth then twisted it around. It is weird that this still occurs today even over something as small as does President Trump wear a bathrobe to watch T.V. in.

  1. Though an obvious example, the article demonstrates how the media exaggerates, alters, and modifies the news. We should question what we read more often and look into the sources before spreading it to others.

  2. I agree with Katie, we shouldn't believe everything we read at first.
