Agenda+Setting+-+Katie+P+Katie+Hoppes

=Take it from Mom, Tim Walberg's ad says: 'That Schauer guy is full of baloney'= Tuesday, September 28 Chris Gautz In this article from "Jackson Citizen Patriot", Tim Walberg says that Schauer's campaign commercials are targeting Walberg with false, inaccurate accusations. Schauer's commercial claims that Tim Walberg wants to take Social Security away from seniors. Walberg counters this in his commercial with his mother, saying he supports social security, and would never take that away from senior citizens. He would never do that to his mother. This is AGENDA SETTING because the reporter, Chris Gautz, takes a blatant biased position and clearly defends Walberg from Schauer. He explains that Walberg is basically a good guy and Schauer is spinning Walberg's position against him.

=Chrysler fires 13 workers caught drinking, smoking on TV news report= Aaron Foley Thursday, September 30

In this article, thirteen workers at a Chrysler auto plant in Auburn Hills, Michigan were fired when it was discovered that they were drinking and smoking what looked like marijuana on a lunch break. All the workers were filmed doing this and it was broadcasted on a local news station. One employee tipped off the news station about the event saying that they bought alcohol at a liquor store down the street from the plant. All the workers were suspended without pay. Chrysler did not explain why they specifically fired them, they just explained that the workers violated the companies policies. The company wants to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. The United Auto Workers also released a statement saying that this incident does not represent the company as a whole and that they condemn any drinking or smoking on the job. The other workers at Chrysler are angry about this event saying that they are representing 51,000 employees and this one incident will put the company in a different light now. This is an example of agenda setting because the article is indirectly justifying the actions of the plant; it uses only quotes from people that feel that the plant was justified in its actions. This they did in an obvious manner.
