WEEK 5

ELIZABETH WARREN IS BASHED

I explored the site, American Conservative. I read an article titled, “Elizabeth Warren
Lost Because She’s Elizabeth Warren.” What a strongly negative and opinionated
article!


The article goes on to degrade Warren and everything “wrong” about her candidacy. A quote from
the article that truly evokes the feeling of the entire article (and author) is,
“Sexism had nothing to do with it. The Massachusetts senator was unlikeable and showed
contempt for the truth.” So it is easy to see that we are seeing the opinions of someone who is far right.


The article develops into a “this is why Elizabeth Warren was such a poor choice” article.
It describes the primary season as “long, and excruciatingly stupid.” It mentioned that she
was politically toxic coming from a brand of white progressivism. 


Some of the article’s content include Warren’s views and plans if she were to become
elected. The author continues to react negatively towards these views. The author
also includes Twitter posts that were used to defend Warren, as then the author
dismisses all supportive tweets.

These voices are not in the mainstream media because I believe that most media
agrees with the left side. While I do tend to agree with the left side, it is easy to
say that there are less and less conservative outlets in mainstream media.
To find these opinions, you either have to A) search into the depth of Google
or B) just go on Facebook. So it is very interesting to see how an article like t
his would never even appear on a major news outlet, as a similar article bashing
the right side would be normal.
