This is talking about the Times Magazine interview with Maines, and portrays Maines as an attention seeker. This statement is unfair because it encourages the public to portray Maines as a bratty attention seeker.]]> 2018-02-23 16:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/powshe20/a1ypnwz1h2q1/wish/234775545 powshe20 https://padlet.com/powshe20/a1ypnwz1h2q1/wish/234776118 Four years ago, Natalie Maines from the Dixie Chicks spoke harshly against President Bush after Toby Keith released a song that was associated with fighting in Iraq. She, along with the rest of the Dixie Chicks, have acted out in other ways since then. Many fans have been very hurt by the whole situation. 

Maines has tried many times to make of the situation, but has been shut down by media. Now, most of the media is unforgiving and biased against them no matter what they say or do to apologize for their actions.]]> 2018-02-23 16:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/powshe20/a1ypnwz1h2q1/wish/234776118 powshe20 https://padlet.com/powshe20/a1ypnwz1h2q1/wish/235995945 TIME magazine did a cover on the Dixie Chicks and the title of the magazine was ¨Radical Chicks.¨ The title of the article was ¨Chicks in the Line of Fire.

This is referring to Maines' apology for saying the hurtful words toward President Bush and the rest of the military. It demonstrates Maines as trying to cause more attention, rather than make the situation better.]]> 2018-02-28 16:53:49 UTC https://padlet.com/powshe20/a1ypnwz1h2q1/wish/236515446 powshe20 https://padlet.com/powshe20/a1ypnwz1h2q1/wish/236516513 The author used phrases such as "disgruntled fans", "successfully insulted almost their entire fan-base", and "pierced the hearts of listeners" when referring to how fans felt about the Dixie Chicks. This is unfair because it is generalizing the public and assuming that everybody felt that way, when there's no way of knowing that for sure.]]> 2018-02-28 16:55:10 UTC https://padlet.com/powshe20/a1ypnwz1h2q1/wish/236516513
