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”.
