Why Troubling News:

The use of the word "regime" in the title of the article is already concerning. The word regime is often synonymous with the word government, however it's often used in a more negative connotation and is usually associated with authoritarianism. To use it to describe an American administration, regardless of the party in charge of it or the president at the helm, hints at a strong bias against it and can have the effect of influencing people to vilify the current administration or even equate them to more authoritarian rulers overseas. The rest of the article doesn't seem to be much better, as it appears that the author is trying to create a narrative of a liberal controlled corporate media versus a more honest independent conservative media. The article and its author biases are obvious and require no further explanation. What is of greater concern is the effect that a piece like this may have on readers. A reader with a more conservative leaning who may harbor disdain for the administration or feel that many media outlets are dishonest may be pulled further to the right if influenced by an article with this kind of language. Likewise, a more liberal reader may feel disgusted and see people who write this kind of material as an enemy or radical, and in turn be pulled further to the left. In any case, an article like this with its negative language only fosters more polarization and resentment among Americans rather than unity and patriotism.
