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”. Â 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. Â 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.
Part 4
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,”
