In my research I was able to come to the conclusion that media is something in which determines a lot. As of today individuals use media to figure out what happens in the world. Media is something everyone uses. There are different kinds of sources in which people get their information from. Some sources people even just most more compared to other sources. I used Fox News and CNN in order to establish the two different news and the same story. I compared CNN views on the Black Lives Matter Movement and Fox News views on the Black Lives Matter movement. Overall we are able to see how one news cast gives negative imputes on a certain group of individuals and also gives a negative impact on the group as a whole and another news cast who has people from the black lives matter movement speak up for what the movement really is and not the media switching it to be something that is not. The black lives matter movement is not a movement in which we preach pro black instead I is a movement in which we try to justify that black lives matter as much as white lives and any other race. Fox News uses its broadcast to say the black people are criminals ,murders, and etc. They give their biases in which they use the black race to determine criminality being that they say that back people are the real criminals of America. While Fox News use its media to broadcast that criminality shouldn’t be something in which is determine by the color of a persons skin which I agree with. Fox News was not able to call these white suprematist organization in which goal is to incite hate against individuals who are not 100% white, or pro white. As a whole they use their media to incite fear against individuals who watch them. It is important that everyone should do more research than what they see on the news or read in an article because nw of days people use the media to label certain groups in order to hide from the truth within America. Watching Bill O Riley video was extremely surprising to me. I say that this video was surprising to me because instead of using media to incite positivity he uses his stand to tell how a certain race is basally the only criminals out now. He also called African Americans suspicious. I also can not believe the ignorance of Rob Smith, as a black man he uses his platform to help downplay the African American community. Media is something that people shouldn’t not play with at all , Fox New uses their platform to try and justify police killing black unarmed individuals. Its scary being a black woman with a younger brother, who has to prepare him for a life where America turn their backs on people that look like me. It is extremely important for people to do their research on certain topic because these implicit biases can lead to something bigger. They tell us to fear African Americans and not fear the man who goes out with the intent to incite hate on people because they look a certain way. They try to turn their back from the major issue here which is the fact that Racism is real, and inequality is something that many people face on a daily bases. I feel like everyone knows this already but is scared to admit the truth. The black live matter preach on a daily bases that are lives should be equivalent to any other race life on a daily bases and they use the media to switch it around to try and make it look like we are the animals and the criminals when we are trying to be the voices for the many individuals who have lost their lives due to the injustice within the system. The media is a positive and negative thing people learn from the media. As a result of that people should be more careful of their intentions. Media is not a place where we blame a group of person and broadcast to th world that that race is a criminal and all sorts of negative thing. They use the black lives matter movement to say that they incite hate, and are people in which we should be scared of while they have these white supremacy groups out here killing people, and broadcasting hate with no one really speaking up about it.

Research Question:”how does the media influence our ideas of implicit bias, especially when it comes to ideas of race and criminality.”

Part 2.
A.
In this article Fox News writes how “supposebly the white supremacist” group are the ones to begin charged of the killing. They go on to blame both sides of the riot saying the they are both at fault. They explain how trump and many government officials spoke out saying that both sides was in the wrong.
B.
In this article CNN writes how the white supremacy group has been the main problem when it came to the removal of the confederate monument. They talk about how many people all over did not agree with the violence that these white supremacy groups have started. They’ll out these white supremacy groups for what they are which are hateful people They announce to the worlds of the dangers of these groups.
Part 3.
A.
Throughout the Fox News article they put quotation marks around white supremacy as if it Is something that is not known. They use these quotation to denounce these groups in my eyes. They even use the title “Charlottesville White national rally blamed for 3 deaths, dozen injuries” This title in my eyes makes people believe that the white supremacy movement was not the one who committed these crimes being that they use the word “blamed”. When someone uses the word blame it means that they are the ones who are being held responsible for these certain acts it kinda like they are being held responsible but are not the ones who actually did it. This article as a whole kinda tries to tell a half story blaming both sides. Fox News use their media to tell a side in which they try to say how both parties was reckless, while the many who were injured during the riot was majority of the counter protesters who wanted the statue to come down. In this article as I read it I get this sense that they are basically saying that they had reasons to act the way they do. They give this sense of them being unsure of what is going on.
B.
In the article the CNN writes how pro white organizations are very dangerous. They explain how may government officials feel as if these pro white groups are dangerous and I agree. These Pro white groups are made to incite violence on people of different races. There goal is to incite hate against these different groups which makes them dangerous. CNN also goes to explain that they are dangerous , and how many government officials believe that they need to come together to try and dismantle these hate groups. CNN also doesn’t place all blame on the white nationalist groups. They place blame on the law officers , and some government officials being that they did not ensure the safety of both parties. They give a sense of them knowing what they are talking about , and gives the full truth.

A.
“Charlottesville white nationalist rally blamed for 3 deaths, dozens of injuries”
“Right-wing blogger Jason Kessler had planned what he called a “pro-white” rally to protest Charlottesville’s decision to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from a city park.”
“In May, a torch-wielding group that included prominent white nationalist Richard Spencer gathered around the statue for a nighttime protest, and in July, about 50 members of a North Carolina-based KKK group traveled there for a rally, where they were met by hundreds of counter-protesters”
B.
“We have no tolerance for hate and violence from white supremacists, neo-Nazis or the KKK,” the vice president said while in Cartagena, Colombia. “These dangerous fringe groups have no place in American public life and in the American debate and we condemn them in the strongest possible terms.”
“We come to you this morning to reassure you that the Commonwealth of Virginia and all of us that are in this together will not and do not condone white supremacists that brought their hatred and bigotry to the Commonwealth of Virginia,”
“The blame for today’s (Saturday’s) violence lies primarily with Charlottesville government officials and the police officers who failed to maintain law and order, protect the First Amendment rights of rally participants, and provide for their safety,”

Part 2
CNN writes an article in which express the truth of the black lives matter movement . They included how the black lives organization is a movement in which started in order to voice to the public on how black lives have been considered as something of less value in the eyes of people in America. They explain how the movement started off by the killing of a young unarmed black teenager who was labeled as suspicious based off of the way he looked. CNN helps spread awareness to the purpose of the black lives matter movement which was made to help bring awareness to the injustice that black people face on a daily bases due to the color of their skin, and people like Fox News who labels people in a darker individuals as dangerous and criminals.
Part 3
CNN uses their media to broadcast to the world that there is more to individuals than what people are saying. They give the black live matter movement a platform where they can speak out and give an understanding to people all over the world that they are not criminals. They allow black individuals to show their intelligence and broadcast to the world that all they want is equality. CNN uses the media in a way in which does not uses their biases like Fox News does but instead they use it giving people an open mind of what it really is instead of what negative media is telling them that it is.
Part 4
“BLM’s goal, according to its website, is to eradicate anti-Blackness and create a society where Black people are able to thrive in the US.”
“Police officers are almost four times as likely to use force on Black people than White people. Black people are also jailed at a disproportionate rate. Black Americans have lower access to health care and lack the same access to quality education.
“Folks in the movement have been consistently fighting to reverse that trend, to raise awareness that this is not the way we’re supposed to live,” Scales told CNN”
