James Tankard, one of the leading writers in mass communication theory states that the audience is often unaware that framing is taking place.
         "Media framing can be likened to the magician's sleight of hand, attention is directed to one point so that people do no notice the manipulation that is going on at another point"

Issues such as the 2005 video that had been released about him saying some not so savory things, to the coverage on how he's going to 'build a wall' between us and Mexico. By looking at different media sources from sites such as the Weekly Standard to the New York Times, we can look at the biases either in favor of Trump, or in distain towards him. ]]> 2017-11-15 19:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/a_price21/f191de9594mt/wish/207388235 a_price21 https://padlet.com/a_price21/f191de9594mt/wish/207390465 From McCombs and Shaw's work, they hypothesized their reasoning for the function of the media is responsible for the almost perfect correlation is the following:
