Cotton Mather was the minister of the Salem church, and truly believed in witchcraft. He had decided to investigate the unusual behavior of the children who belonged to John Goodwin, a Mason.
In "The Crucible", written by Arthur Miller, Abigail Williams is the most despicable and she is the least intricate to figure out. By seeing Abigail's influence on the town of Salem, we can immediately see that she is always telling lies, manipulating her friends, and the entire town. The lies that Abigail tells, influences the destruction of the Proctor family. Abigail's emotions towards Elizabeth is she wants her death. Abigail believes throughout the plot that John Proctor was her only love because she had an affair with him and that the jealousy she had toward Elizabeth would soon come to an end.

There has been a shift, it would seem, in journalist integrity and reporting style of political news media over the past several decades. The shift began in the 1970’s when the now prolific Rush Limbaugh was just starting his career in the broadcast industry, but the rise of conservative media is largely attributed to “sweeping deregulation of the media (particularly the removal of the Fairness Doctrine and the easing of ownership restrictions)” (Sobieraj 410).
