In a blog I found on, Americablog.com, John Aravosis talks
about a guy on twitter who rants about how the media has been very
disappointing this presidential election. This blog post is mainly intended for
the social media thriving young adults. The twitter feed is written by a guy
named Matthew Chapman, who is writer over at Blue Nation Review. He has 40+
posts (pictures of each post supplied by Aravosis) on twitter explaining his disappointment
with the media’s roll in the election, which means not being supplied with
proper information on the candidates’ policies, specifically Clinton’s. One
very interesting thing Aravosis said was, “When is the last time you heard
anything about what Hillary Clinton plans to do as president? You’ve heard a
lot about the Trump campaign’s false claims that Hillary is ill and that she’s
a “racist.” We’ve also heard a lot about the now-debunked Associated Press
story about the Clinton Foundation.”. He said enough to catch my attention, because
we have heard the media bash Trump so much we forget to bash Clinton. Well not
really bash in the physical context, but in the verbal context.
I agree that Hilary has somehow slipped out of sight from the
mainstream social media’s evil eye. And Aravosis explains how Chapman says “they’ve
done nothing to educate us on the candidates’ policy (especially Clinton’s).
They are only barely covering the candidates’ records”, which it true in so
many ways during the presidential debates. They ping pong back and forth between
questions making you feel like the question wasn’t even answered, which leaves
you puzzled and confused. Chapman explains in his tweets that if the media did
its job we would all know about the policy platforms, and that Clinton puts
disability rights front and center. And also she is the first candidate, ever,
to have an autism rights platform. To me that is quite ridiculous, these
platforms need to be able to be easily accessed by the mass majority of people.
