The Mainstream Media and United States' Policy in El Salvador
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN HUMANITIES - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
As far as the press of such a democratic political system is concerned, one would expect the American mainstream media to act independently of the government's will by putting the official pretexts and objectives for interference abroad under serious questioning -before accepting or rebutting them- looking for alternative sources of information, and instituting the conditions for a fair debate -by offering the opportunity to several conflicting opinions to argue and debate and then come out with the most convincing conclusions. In order to check if the US mainstream media acted as an independent organ during U.S. interference in El Salvador, I will examine their treatment of the official objectives for intervention as well as the most prominent themes and methods they applied during their coverage of a typical case study of American Global Realism.
