When deciding upon which news website I should analyze, I did a Google search for news. However, many of the websites that popped up immediately were cites such as CNN and FOX, which we had already put a little bit of thought into in class. Therefore, I chose to analyze a news website that I had never heard of before, it is called “World Net Daily.”
Shortly after reading the headlines of some of the articles that this website, I came to the conclusion that it is very politically conservative. Headlines such as, “Leaked! Obama’s Specific, Devastating 2nd Term Plans,” or, “Obama Eligibility odds: 1 in 62.5 Quintillion” were bolded on the virtual front page. Exclusives such as, “Gloves off! Obama scorched as ‘serial liar’” with the caption, “‘lies just flow out of his mouth as naturally as a baby’s cries.”’ The people that are in charge of this newspaper are obviously not fans of the Democratic Party, especially considering that they don’t have any negative articles about the Republican Party in the political news.
Also, in the “World” section of the site, there is an article that is called, “Ralph Nader: Obama’s a ‘war criminal.’” This piece is showing that even the previous Third- Party candidate agrees more with the Right side when it comes to this upcoming election. Another article in the “U.S.” section of the site was titled, “Charge: Media ‘Rigging’ Presidential Election” with the caption, “Conservatives call out ‘deliberate and unmistakable leftist agenda’ this election cycle.” Mainly based off of the shear number of articles on the virtual front page of this news website that have a clear bias, I would say that it is politically conservative.
