предвзятостью СМИ и идеология перезаписи

CNN tends to show a liberal bias in its programs, casting a more negative light towards Republican candidates than their Democratic counterparts. The article is quick to highlight Donald Trump as an insensitive bigot, mentions previous controversies, and quoting condemnations of his character from other prominent persons. The tone and context of “A seemingly bewildered Trump interrupted the man…” halfway through the page portrays him in a manner less suitable for a presidential candidate, by putting his sanity to the question. The news piece also omits any favorable remarks in support of Trump, instead being chockful of quotes by critics denouncing him.

My pistachio (pastiche) will be a rewriting of the issue that provides a viewpoint downplaying Mr. Trump’s bluntness and negativities, instead depicting him as a more reasonable candidate. Quotations will also be decontextualized to provide a more favourable angle.

Criticism over Trump’s Q&A at Friday’s Town Hall Event

Washington 1507 GMT September 18, 2015

Donald Trump was assailed by multiple forms of criticism this Friday, following his Q&A at town hall. 

An unidentified man had made himself heard at the event, calling out Muslims as America’s current problem, asserting that President Obama himself was a follower of the Islamic religion. Being the veteran of many a high-profile controversy, Donald Trump has steadfastly held on and shaken off attacks at the hands of his numerous political opponents time and again.

The self-made billionaire managed to placate the questioner, mentioning that “We’re going to be looking at that and many other things,” before moving on to another eager audience member.

Ex-first lady Hillary Clinton personally posted tweets on Thursday night concerning the event, following it up with a Friday press conference during the morning.

“I was appalled,” Clinton answered in response to CNN’s Suzanne Malveaux. “Not only was it out of bounds, it was untrue.”

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz mentioned what happened to be “certainly horrendous”, describing the “vile rhetoric coming from the GOP candidates” to be appalling, “but unfortunately unsurprising given what we have seen already.”

Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski later told CNN that Mr. Trump had not heard the question pertaining President Obama’s religious tendencies. A recent poll has found that over 90 million of Americans share the belief that Obama is indeed a Muslim. Trump’s fellow party member and 2008 presidential nominee John McCain has explicitly stated that Obama was a “good family man”, mentioning that any enmity was towards “disagreements on fundamental issues”.

Summah Blagh Post Numero Uno

The days of my final summer before college have come and gone. Consequent a brief period of contemplation, I'm of the belief that mine was one of the more wholesome experiences amongst my peers. With a vast multitude of happenings common and uncommon, a recounting of the details would, understandably, be to my enjoyment. And so, subtracting the more private features of my time spent, the types of which are better shared between friends and a cold glass of beer, I'll be outlining the most memorable occasions I've encountered.

To preface with, I spent the vast majority of my curricular recess in my home country, the Philippines. Normally my time would be divvied up between three main locations: the city of Manila, the province of Pampanga, and the farther off island territory of Eastern Samar. However, due to time constraints, my self was unable to drop by the latter, where my paternal grandparents are based. So, as always, my journey began in the capital; my father was able to take a couple days off that allowed him to stay a while until his eventual return to the UAE. During that time, my grandparents came to spend time as well, along with occasional visits from other family members. After my father left, my mother went ahead to Pampanga, where her own side of the family was situated. For a week and a bit, my sister and I spent our time on family outings, until being picked up by our mother for our stay in Pampanga.

As much as I took pleasure in the presence of my uncles and aunts with whom we stayed with back in Manila, it was in Pampanga that I enjoyed myself truly, for it was there that I had relatives of my own generation. Why the distant province of Pampanga you ask? The reason for that being, my mother having come from a military family who until recently have been living in BASA Air Base, and have since relocated a short distance away. Five cousins in the same house, foremost among them one of my favorite people in the world, who although not related by blood and technically being my uncle, the negligible age gap and close bonds rendered these matters inconsequential. Through Charlhone, my number of companions increased even more, as his friends became my friends too, a close-knit group of slightly older people whose professions ranged from soldier, to model, to student. It was with them that I employed my time gallivanting around. However, my time with Charlhone himself was much less than initially expected. A 22 year old model, his absence was caused by his entrance to the locally famous television show Pinoy Big Brother, the premise of which is similar to international versions. A few days beforehand, a camera crew came by to film his introduction, which led to my appearance in televisions around the country, if only for seconds of fame. And so we parted ways, unable to see each other again for at least another year, as his tenure was to last longer than my vacation. Of little woe, for to my luck I still had other friends and family with whom I spent my days with.

Other than my hours in malls, beaches, and parks, certain moments during my break stand out brighter.than the rest. Chief among them is that one time I went on an hour-long road trip to Clark, Initially dropping off my cousin's handler on the way, we visited the airbase there, which is to all intents and purposes a restricted area, but through the gates of which we sailed through with nary a hitch. Dropping by the BASA hangar, we were greeted by, as I was told, our ex-neighbors and possibly my sibling's or my godparent/s. The pilots and staff being in uniform, some of them urged me to try one out for size. Some among them, notably the possible-godparent, knew my father from his airforce days, back when he was their superior. And honestly, as seen on my most recent Facebook profile photos, I look damned sexy in a flightsuit.

Women's Literature Blegh Post

What is the purpose and benefit of the study of literature? 

What is literature? Are they simply letters on a page or the accumulated creations of wordsmiths throughout the entirety of space and time that encompasses important elements of human existence? The study of literature lets one perceive the world in a multitude of different perspectives, allowing oneself to explore the concepts of culture, history, and creativity, as well as identify the effects of such on the writer, the reader, and the contents of the text itself. Along with that, it enables the absorption and sharpening of the skills necessary for the analyses of books or documents, providing the individual a set of tools that can be used for a variety of situations. Familiarity with the nuances of the English language can improve a student's own work, applying the ideas they've digested from their hours of work, into a product worthy of praise. There might not be a practical point in the study of literature - no physical nutrition can be derived from reading anything. However, by preparing the mind to search for implications, subtexts, and evidence of such, these capabilities could prove useful in the real world as well. 

What is women’s literature and what is the value in studying it? 

Women's literature is fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or prose composed by women, the study of which is based on the idea that their experiences have produced a unique viewpoint that men have little access to on the whole. By challenging you with queries out of left field, the student is given the opportunity to reflect on unconventional aspects of gender, history, and culture, exploring the hitherto unknown conflicts that women face.
