Media Blogs with Kai

What's up guys, It's Kai back again with another media blog. This one is gonna be about politics, the English language, Politics and the English Language . In Politics and the English Language, George Orwell states that when politicians use fancy words they do it to sound smart, and not necessarily convey meaning. This week Donal Trump has elected not participate in Wednesdays hearing. I've picked out two sources, one from CNN, a very left leaning news source, and FOX news, a very right leaning news source. First, lets go to CNN.  https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/impeachment-inquiry-12-02-2019/index.html  CNN reports that Adam Schiff said that "The minority's rebuttal... integrity of our elections. While this does use some pretty flowery language, which Orwell would disapprove of, he odes manage to get his point across quite well. Schiff is able to get his point across thoroughly, while also using some words that are not generally heard from a normal perso...

Yo, what's up guys, it's Kai back again with another media blog. This week I saw a video on Youtube by Sam O'Nella Academy, one of my favorite youtubers. It was about the Popes who did some not very pope like things while at the head of the Catholic church. The first thing I saw when I opened the video was an ad for the new Google Pixel 4 phone, and that was before the second ad, one for sprint. Those were both before I even got into the video. The first thing that he says is "This video is sponsored by Skillshare." Thats an advertisement for three commercials before I even got to start watching the video. The video itself was entertaining enough, but he ended the video with some seemingly prewritten words to say about how great of a website Skillshare is. He did morph them into his own by adding a personal touch, but it was all in the name of getting people to apply to Skillshare. He uses a certain form of advertising that I see a lot in commercials and adver...

What's up guys, it's Kai with his first media blog. My current relationship with media is pretty good. I enjoy seeing ads for some of my favorite brands, some of my favorite you tubers have sponsorships, and overall media has a large impact on what I do and buy. Most of my favorite brands are sports brands, or sponsor some of my favorite teams. Many of the sponsorships I see on American teams are food chains, or sports apparel, but if it's a team from England, many of the sponsors are gambling/ betting websites.  600 × 600 . Of the youtubers who have sponsorships, many of them are with companies such as NordVPN, skill share, or curiosity stream. Looking back on it now, I have a higher opinion of these companies than I do of others in their field, yet I have never once ever thought about using their services. The only plausible reason I have for these opinions, is that someone who I look up to endorses it, so I feel like it must be worth it, or better than it's competi...
