    Media and its bias has been a factor in every election and is not necessarily a way to rig it. Trump feels the media is targeting him, but in truth an outlet always chooses candidates to pick on. He is not the only one. John Oliver`s “Last Week Tonight” had an entire segment about his running mates Jill Stein and Gary Johnson and made fun of them. On the matter of Saturday Night Live (SNL) they have always made fun of celebrities and government officials alike.

    As of late the feud between the media and President Trump has escalated, this has caused the general population to be forced to decide who is the instigator, Trump or the media? I believe that while the media does retaliate, this childish back and forth was fueled by Trump and someone in his position should not focus on a petty feud such as this. I believe that as president he must show a strong image and refrain from continuing to ridicule the media. Because of Trump’s constant twitter rants about the media and the overall popularity of the issue many articles have been written on both the pro-Trump and anti-Trump side. These articles use different rhetorical devices to convey their point and get the reader to agree with them.
