Bias views on Daily mirror and The times.

Daily Mirror.

• Against Trump.
• proiretic code shown by the statue crying.
• Hermeneutic code with the smoke in the background.
• Symbolic code with the statue crying as she represents freedom.
• The red typeface symbolises anger and danger.
• The mise en scene connotes the end of the world.
• Loss of freedom.
• Intertextual references to Cloverfield and the walking dead.
• Rhetorical question has an uncomfortable mode of address. 
• Anchors the audience to side with the beliefs of the newspaper.
• Mise en scene of the smoke has connotations of the 911 terrorist attacks.

The Times.

• The times is more pro Trump.
• The typeface is in bold white font, white connotes purity and innocence.
• The American flag is shown in the background which emphasises Trump supporting America.
• Double page spread to convey Trumps victory an shown him being applauded.
• Example of a Polysemic front cover.
• The pool quote on the back ( quote from a interview), Demonstrates Trumps ego.

• The mise-en-scene of the American flag is symbolic of of freedom, justice and american values. This anchors the audience to believe that Trump is a positive force for America.  
• The headline, 'THE NEW WORLD is presented in a serif font, which has connotations of positivity, seriousness, and the ideology that Trump will be a global force for good. 
• Trump's red tie is connotative of hope, positivity, and patriotism. Red is also the colour of the republican party. 
• Placement of headline is directly over Trump's heart, demonstrating his love and intentions to shape the world. 
• A possible polysemic reading: slightly wary of the future. Bias through selection: a slightly smug picture of Trump has been elected, suggesting that Trump is unprepared. For other audiences, it might connote confidence, or Trump's fear at responsibility
• Lexis: choice of the word 'shockwaves' is perhaps symbolic of natural disasters. Potentially, the audience may negotiate a negative response to Trump
• Pull quote's lexis demonstrates the new president's egotism, but may be comparative to other orators like Martin Luther King. ~However, also an intertextual reference to a comic book super villain. Yellow has connotations of strength and superiority. 
• Ultimately, by generally supporting Trump, The Times has demonstrated a significant right wing bias. Further reinforces the ideological perspective of the newspaper. 

Why are newspapers bias?

• Newspapers will try to construct an audience.
• Provide entertainment for the audience so newspapers will have very opinionated views to entice people an cause conflict. 
• Certain benefits will include celebrity endorsement.

2. The technical devices the media text uses in order to present these groups or issues.
