On October 17, 2018, Ann Coulter published an article on her blog titled FAKE NEWS AUTOPSY. Ann Coulter is a conservative social and political commentator so her views are biased towards the right wing. Her audience is conservative voters and readers of her blog. She is arguing that CNN is purposely misinterpreting President Trump's statements. According to her article, they are changing his words to make him sound even more racist and insensitive. She proves her point by stating that Trump’s original quote said: “It’s a very scary time for young men in America when you can be guilty of something that you may not be guilty of.”  Then CNN and many other news outlets quoted him as saying “it's a very scary time for young men in America". He was referring to the recent increase in rape accusations. However, when CNN’s Ann Cabrera reported it, it was changed to "White men have a lot to fear right now.” This puts a much more negative and racially divisive connotation to his statement as white men are the generally the most privileged people in America. This just fuels the fire of racial turbulence in America. Another point of evidence for her argument is that if it were a mistake, it would have been corrected almost immediately. This makes it seem as though they are purposely trying to damage his already unfavorable reputation. This is significant because a large portion of the American people use CNN for their daily news. President Trump has been talking about "fake news" coming from CNN since the beginning of his campaign. I personally agree with Ann Coulter on this situation, I believe that it’s wrong to twist someone's words to slander them. While I do not necessarily support Trump, I believe it is unethical and unwise for the media to be dishonest.. Especially about Donald Trump because he provides the media with many genuinely foolish quotes on his own.

On October 4, 2018, USA today posted an editorial article by Catherine Cherkasky titled Christine Blasey Ford is no poster child for women's rights: A female attorney's perspective. Catherine Cherkasky is an extremely credible source due to the fact that she is both an attorney and a female. Cherkasky's opinion has a slight bias because she was a criminal defense attorney. Her intended audience is everyone who is unsure about the legitimacy of Christine Blasey Ford's testimony. The claim that she is making is about the weakness of her argument and the holes in her story. She provides evidence for her argument by calling attention to the fact that the FBI is unlikely to find any actual evidence because it supposedly happened in 1982 and there are several issues. For example, she doesn't remember the date or location. There is also no way to prove that the man there was Brett Kavanaugh. She also proposes the argument that perhaps Ford's memory is distorted, an event such as a sexual assault can put a lot of strain on a person mind, leading them to truly believe something that is false. I personally agree with Cherkasky. I have no way of knowing whether or not what she is saying is true but I am a big supporter of the tenet that one is presumed innocent until proven guilty. An accusation is not the same as being guilty and I feel like a lot of people don't know the difference. I also think that she has hurt her credibility a lot by waiting 30 years to come forward with this information, right when he was nomination for the supreme court was moving to a vote.
