Media Framing and the 2016 Presidential Election

This first clip certainly frames itself in discussion of the horse race. It points out that Sen. Sanders needs 65% of the remaining delegates in order to win the nomination. The clip shows his polling and the anchor is quoted saying, “No poll in the upcoming states shows Sanders winning by enough of a margin.”

While the clip also talks about Sen. Sanders policies on immigration, that policy talk is framed around whether or not the guest, Rep. Raul Grijalva, believes that Sanders’ policies and campaign events in recent days can help him win on ‘Western Tuesday’ in the states of Arizona, Utah and Idaho (Dem).

This clip focuses on conflict between Sanders and Secy. Clinton ahead of ‘Western Tuesday’. This clip features a Clinton supporter/delegate, Arizona Vice Mayor Karin Uhlich. The crux of the Clinton campaigns criticism comes from a vote Sanders cast in 2007 for an immigration bill drafted by the late Ted Kennedy.

This article discusses Trump’s ‘complex relationship with Israel’.

In the article it is said that Trump’s rhetoric concerning Muslims has been a point of criticism among Israeli’s political class. The Likud party (which Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs to) “… condemned Trump for denigrating the country’s large minority of Muslim citizens after he called for an indefinite ban on Muslims entering the United States.”

The article also recounts when Trump was booed at a Republican Jewish Coalition forum for refusing to, “… say whether he considered Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel.”

This last clip asks, “Who Is John Kasich”. In the clip it is said that Kasich is not a, “… run-of-the-mill Republican.” The video notes that he is a fan of The Grateful Dead and that he was the youngest person ever elected to the Ohio senate (at the age of 26).
