There are several different news media outlets, for research purpose I will be focusing on CNN, Fox News and BBC news. Depending on the source, the way in which we interpret information will vary on that specific source. For example, if you are a fan of Fox news as opposed to CNN, chances are when you see an article released by CNN you will discard it; later on you may see a similar article this time released by Fox News, you will be more likely to read this article and believe it because it promotes your values and beliefs. Ideological Criticism refers to the idea of a pattern of beliefs that determine the interpretations of some aspect of the world by a group of people. These patterns then shape the way in which people interpret and spread news, all relating back to their beliefs. In the attached article written by Laura Jarrett from CNN, you can see that she talks about President Trump in a rather negative light, exposing his bad. She covers a story of a man who believes that he was wrongly deported and she included Trump's past comments on Mexican people. I then checked Fox News for any stories covering this and could not find one actually, the tone of the stories on the Fox News page were seemingly kinder to Trump if not in favor of him. If your personal beliefs are against immigration and you have a negative view on people who come over to the country then you are probably more inclined to read the Fox News stories on immigration and get their point of view instead of CNN where they are more accepting of immigration. Ideology can be classified anywhere from religion such as christianity, muslim, judaism, etc. or they can be less in depth like reality tv or education. What it comes down to is the idea of your own beliefs and values determining how you percieve different stories and how you see the world.
