Donald Trump praises Katie Hopkins as a 'respected columnist' and Twitter goes into meltdown
Donald Trump has named Katie Hopkins as a respected columnist as she has recently defended his comments on the Muslim community in the UK. These two are known to have themselves found in headlines with their tiresome and , most of time, racist comments and rants especially Trump who is currently running in the running for the Republican presidential candidacy.
John Shammas,writer of this article in the The Mirror, quoted the term "respected columnist" suggesting he possibly doesn't feel the same as Trump does as the ever so rude Katie Hopkins, furthermore Shammas goes on further to describe Hopkins as a "loud mouth" definitely confirming his opinions of Katie Hopkins. Just like my previous article, British reactions can be quite entertaining and this is another example of why it can be. Using the platform of Twitter,which makes this information accessible to everyone, the writer gathered a few reponses from those who had something to say about this newly formed friendship between Trump and Kopkins
Even good ol' British boy - Danny Dyer had something to add. The idea of adding a popular face and using their star power makes the story more enjoyable to read especially if their views match yours and in this case, Danny Dyer is tweeting what everyone is thinking.
Pictures of Trump looking flustered and overly tannned and Hopkins looking like a lost cause add a comedic element to the story. Again making the story seem more enjoyable for readers
It's pretty typical of the pair to be likeminded, I suppose.

This article is a good one to use as it is widely argued and therefore you are able to provide your point of view, which you did give. I also like the inclusion of other celebrities involved to show the extent in which the story circulated.
ReplyDeleteYou used relevant material from the article in order to make your point and included a good variety of facts and information.
ReplyDeletePerhaps try to discuss the viewpoints of the specific article that you studied, since you looked at the effect and bias created from social media, maybe you could see how the writers inflicted their own bias onto the story.
