'
Make America Love Again':
Free Hugs Project seeks unity in divisive presidential race
http://www.wptv.com/news/national/make-america-love-again-free-hugs-project-seeks-unity-in-divisive-presidential-race
The three articles cover the #MakeAmericaLoveAgain movement
whose purpose is not to create violence at these presidential rallies, but to
embrace one another. The movement is a response to the violence widely being
created at Trump rallies. In the reddit posting, there is a lot of positive
conversation about how well the campaign is going as well as how we need love
more than ever. The online platform or outlet allows the audience to share same
or different opinions about the matter and make a connection. Even though the
reddit platform is very objective, framing can still occur because the comments
of other users have the ability to influence a viewer. WPTV is pretty objective
on the situation and aims to get the audience engaged by asking the viewer a
set of questions after the video has been viewed. While WPTV doesn't really
give an opinion on the matter, they present the story in a way that seems like
they are for the movement. In comparison, the US News immediately addresses the
racism that has sparked the anti-Trump movement rather than mentioning the
“love” aspect. The publication aims to get the reader thinking about race and
does so successfully. The article contains racist quotes from the video that
cause the audience to think of race as a main factor in the story.
