What makes news?


http://jodiariasisinnocent.com/

JODI ARIAS she has been making headlines for months now about the murder she has committed to her Mormon boyfriend Travis Alexander. while looking into the media and what they have to say about Jodi and the trial i have stumbled upon to my extreme surprise a support website and these are some of the examples of why it is bias.

Bias by Headline
the first source that i discovered was probably the most bias of all of them it was to my shocking surprise a  support site for Jodi arias. some of the headlines come as followed the slogan of the site seems to be " we are team Jodi and we will be victorious" and " a detail reply to DR. drew's BS question"

Bias by Word Choice and Tone 


 the person that created this site often posts news broadcaster videos with a headline the news station puts on it and spins the words around to try to air them in a positive light or decrease the seriousness of the situation. 

Bias by Captions and Camera angles
 The creator of this site only uses positive pictures of Jodi where she is smiling or shot in a bright light. most of the pictures used are ones outside of the court room to promote a somewhat positive image. 

Bias by Labeling (names, titles) 
On this site they tend to use very positive words and phrases such as " good person" "support" "inocents"
"wrongly accuses"
