@HodgkinsonCiara This is a very excellent article because it takes a unique and overlooked perspective to the corona virus crisis and it will be interesting to see the long term effects that come from this climate

[Andrew Zinman @ZinmanAndrew]

@michael_porter This is an interesting article because there is so much discussion about increased polarization in the United States over the past decade. The overall trend of the fracturing of the American Ideological Consensus since the 1960s has reached a peak in our current year #MC576

Nasdaq is pushing for diversity with the corporations listed on its exchange by suggesting a measure with the Securities and Exchange Commission to disclose the makeup of their executive leadership and impose penalties on uncompliant companies #mc576

I have been flipping back and forth all night between various news outlets. It has been interesting to see the way different outlets report the election map, and the hesitance to call certain states that the AP has declared called. #mc576

[Andrew Zinman @ZinmanAndrew]

As this race tightens it has become clear that the notion of an Electoral College landslide for either candidate has been dispelled. It will be very tight and Pennsylvania and the Upper Midwest will be huge in deciding this election's outcome. #mc576

It is interesting to view how Trump's gains in Miami-Dade County had a large impact in helping him retain the electoral votes from Florida. #mc576 #ElectionNight

[POLITICO @politico]

It’s looking more and more like Florida and its 29 electoral votes will go to President Trump. Here's what you need to know about #ElectionNight so far 👇

As someone who has lived on the West Coast and Intermountain West my entire life, I have been intrigued by the unique political climate in Kansas since moving here for school. The heavy amount of campaigning I've witnessed for this race has me anticipating the results #MC576

[KWCH 12 News @KWCH12]

Roger Marshall now in the lead for the U.S. Senate race in Kansas. Early results had Bollier ahead. Now, Marshall leads the way by a little more than 3,100 votes. Updates ▶️ https://t.co/DekUSN3UNj #kwch12

Mitch McConnell handily won the reelection in his congressional district. His opponent Amy McGrath raised over 46 million dollars in her bid to unseat the Senate majority leader but fell short in this anticipated race

Truman v. Dewey, Polk v. Clay, and Trump v. Clinton all represent historic presidential upsets. This election may influence American voter's trust in predictive polls as a potential consecutive upset would cause a potential reevaluation of methodology

[Andrew Zinman @ZinmanAndrew]

As polls in key states start to close in about 5 minutes, this is an interesting piece by Politico that outlines the record voter turn out for early voters in states around the country and the importance of traditionally non-heavily contested states #mc576 #Election2020

[POLITICO @politico]

The early vote, which has hit record levels in many places, looks promising for Joe Biden.

Yet on election eve, no one can say with any certainty if Biden wins by a landslide or Trump ekes out a reelection victory.

@michael_porter The contents of this article reminded of the infamous "Pokémon go to the polls" quote from Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election cycle. I wonder how many young voters would see an appeal through video games as just pandering, or is it a good way to connect youth with politics.

[Andrew Zinman @ZinmanAndrew]

@danielle_ksumc This article was very informative in explaining the young voter phenomenon in this election cycle. I'm interested to see how these predictions play out in a couple of weeks.

[Andrew Zinman @ZinmanAndrew]

This opinion piece ran by the Miami Herald is an example of persuasion in political campaigns. Its arguments target low involved political audiences and highly involved audiences in order to try and make an explicitly biased argument against Trump #mc576

@Natalie81620932 I believe that this article is a good example of the author using an environmental specific frame in order to try and bring about a greater awareness to the issues of deforestation and forest fires.

[Andrew Zinman @ZinmanAndrew]

@michael_porter @ConversationUS I thought this was a very good example of framing as it very explicit explains the way media language impacts the national discourse around the recent civil unrest in the United States

[Andrew Zinman @ZinmanAndrew]

This article by Reuters uses framing techniques by putting the recent Tik Tok controversies and uncertainty into the context of the US Presidential election. By focusing on disinformation, false claims, and the way it may effect content policy.

@enbycircle I have also noticed this trend lately with the reporting of the media on the health status of Kim Jung-un. Different nation's reported conflicting details on whether the North Korean leader was in a coma or not. It would be interesting to do a dive into the frequency of this.

[Andrew Zinman @ZinmanAndrew]

@JacobCa576 I believe this is a very good observation on how the national discourse between celebrities and politicians have evolved in the last two decades. I also believe the proliferation of social media has contributed to this new trend.

This article deals with the average American citizen's perceptions of bias in media. The Hill reports that a recent survey shows that over 86% of Americans believe there is significant bias in today's media.
