Media framing - Mount Rushmore

In 1996, when Bill Clinton visited Mount Rushmore during his re-election campaign, ABC News called it a symbol of American ingenuity and creativity, an extraordinary national achievement. In 2008, when Barack Obama campaigned there, CNN referred to it as a majestic site and said every president should make the trip. In 2016, when Bernie Sanders visited and said he was humbled to stand before four of our greatest presidents, CNN described the moment as awe-inspiring. In 2020, when President Trump visited, CNN called it a celebration of white supremacy and pointed out that he stood before two former slave owners on land taken from Native Americans. If you honestly believe the media isn’t agenda-driven, you might want to take your head out of the sand.
