The blog post that I'd like to assess was my third On The Media, Smoke & Handcuffs. I chose this post because I realized that I showed my personal bias on many occasions. The entire post starts off with me recalling a time Trump said he'd stop using twitter. Though this can be viewed as either fact worthy or biased, my next paragraph shows my bias and attitude about Trump still using Twitter by saying, "Trump is still using twitter, and whether we like that fact or not, he's going to do it anyway." You can tell there is a underlining tone to that sentence with my overpowering disapproval of the president using social media in this kind of way.
The next paragraph in my post was all opinion based. I automatically assume that the President is only watching the news and not getting official facts from professionals and advisers before posting a comment on twitter. I even gathered evidence of our president using "shows" to gain military advice in an interview to drive my point.
The next two paragraphs are more of a rant against our President with me stating my personal opinion with no facts to back me up and is more of my reactionary response to anything Trump does. It's obvious that anyone who didn't agree with my opinion of Trump wouldn't read past the first few sentences, making this blog post ineffective to possibly show what could be a troubling issue in our democracy and in our White House.
Looking back at this blog posts almost makes me disappointed in myself as I know I can write better than that and pull facts out in a way that doesn't have an agenda and instead can become informative and professional. Its helpful to look back and recognize where I let my bias' comes out and become more aware to make sure that doesn't happen in the future.
