Walter White Speaks On Trump

I'd like to take a look at a lesser known news source that isn't quite in the running with Fox, CNN, or the Washington Post for a change.

The front page of RedState today was an article covering Bryan Cranston responding to those wishing President Trump to fail. The article is very to the point with objective writing reporting what Bryan Cranston and Nicole Kidman's opinions on all the resentment towards Trump. 

The only lack of objectivity that I see with this article is at the very end when the author, Andrea Ruth inserts her own opinion.

Now, after analyzing the journalistic writing. I'd like to look at the headline for this article and placement. The headline itself is trying to get a response from Bryan Cranston fans who might be in support of Trump's failure/impeachment - especially considering his sturdy foothold in entertainment following the massive success of Breaking Bad. The fact is, it's trying to evoke an emotional change in opinon of Trump through the audience's emotional opinion of someone else - which is not very objective. 

On a personal note, I'm a little confused as to why Bryan Cranston's opinion made the front page. Understandably, he is a major public opinion leader and RedState is trying to make the aformentioned subjective emotional appeal, but I don't believe that Cranston's opinion should be front page news.

The headline is: PELOSI REFUSES TO HIT CONYERS ON SEXUAL HARASSMENT ALLEGATIONS, CALLS HIM 'ICON' Photo by  Emily Morter The headline hits Pelosi making it seem as though she's condoning sexual embarrassment and then quotes her when she said Conyers is an icon. BUT, the way the quote is done in the headline makes it seem extremely judgmental and vindictive. Something comparable would probably be something like seeing a headline for the rapper Em...
