Comment #7 Donald Trump Heckled
This week at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner, Donald Trump got booed and heckled on stage when he was roasting Hillary Clinton for charity. In the New York Times article Donald Trump Heckled by New York Elite at Charity Dinner, the author reports about how Donald Trump may have taken the jokes a little to far because he had the whole audience against him by the end of the night when he made jokes about Hillary being corrupt and about how Hillary was there “pretending not to hate Catholics”.
The article included three videos of the candidates roasting each other and one picture from twitter. Even though some may think that Donald Trump is being victimized by the media, I feel that this isn’t the case. Donald Trump did call out the New York Times in his speech at the charity for being rigged against him, but the New York Times is simply just reporting what actually happened.
The author did an amazing job keeping the article objective. To make sure of this the author basically just copied all of Trump’s own words and put them in the story so it wasn’t coming from the author himself. This was a smart strategy I believe because in the end the author just reported what Donald Trump had said and done and he lets the audience decide on whether it was right or not.
