For the first part of your blog post, provide a brief summary of your chosen current event. You should be conscious of your own bias and make every effort to avoid biased, opinionated, emotional, or judgmental language in this summary. That means avoiding words such as “always,” “obviously,” “clearly,” etc.
In addition to providing a brief summary of your chosen current event, your blog post should answer each of the following questions:
What specific branch of the U.S. government is involved in this current event?
Who or which groups are affected by this event?
What biases or leanings exist in the media source you chose? Give examples. Were these counterbalanced in any way?
What are your opinions on the issue?
Your blog post should be typed in a Word document and meet the following requirements:
A 1-2 paragraph summary of your chosen current event. Include what the event is, when it took place, and the political issues or policies to which it connects.
Write 1-2 paragraphs for each of the four questions provided (see above), for a total of at least four paragraphs.
Base your blog content on information from your selected news source or other reputable sources.
Ensure your paper is 2-3 pages in total length.
Cite your selected news article any any other sources using the Strayer Writing Standards format.
