Long Answer
1. The media is after trump again after misquoting him and making him look bad due to a use of the word lynching which the media said he compared the impeachment inquiry by the democrats. Later the president came out and said on twitter that the media is playing with his words once again. Trump has also recently how he feels the way the democrats are treating him during this impeachment investigation. Trump is seen using this word in a bad way cause of the history, though it may have been more appropriate to say he is is being untreated fairly without trial but technically lynch would match that definiton
2.(of a mob) kill (someone), especially by hanging, for an alleged offense with or without a legal trial.

4. Maybe because there hasn't been a trial yet he is being accused for several things and feels that is unfair.

Ethics in Media
1.Publishing Drunk Drivers Photos
Summary:
After drunk driving accidents happen people at fault are usually arrested. Once they are arrested they take a mugshot which is shared usually with the local new The controversy here is if these phots should be shown to the media and in newspapers. These photos can be seen as unnecessary and embracing considering the person is under the influence.
Opinion: I feel like the way it is now should stay the same , I don't really see this as a serious thing or something that will ruin someones life.

If someone is being wrote as the killer and there not it looks bad on there person and bad on there person who wrote the article.
Opinion:I think this is very unfair to write an article of someone who isn't proven guilty which is sort of breaking one of are amendments and especially to someone who may have not even killed someone and now everyone may see that person in a bad way.
3.Holocaust Metaphor
Summary:
Lots of years ago 6 million people died in the holocaust. Nowadays people use the holocaust as a metaphor and it seems that lots of people think it's an extreme use of a metaphor.

Opinion:
I think this is extremely insulting to the jewish population in are world. Millions of people were killed and people compare things such as food which sustains human life. This shouldn't be allowed to be used in any form of public media or news.
