USA election are very hot topic. Many controversies around
voting process occurred in many states. Also involvement of medias is topic of
argues. But on one think everyone agree. This election could change the world. The
global crisis is very fertile ground for all extremes. Covid, USA-China race,
reborn of Islam extremism, world migration. For sure many people are falsely
convinced about eternal world peace. USA
are global leader and trends setter in this topics. Their president could
influenced through them all countries in
the world. Especially Europe, which actual is front in war between West
civilization and Russia. In that kind of situation is It okay to play shows like one below at news channels?
Question:
- Are you satisfied from US President choose? Why?
- What do you think about involvement of media in election process? Do you think It is right that some media clearly support one of the sides, laying to own followers or showing not-full view of some case?
- What potential danger could bring to neighboring countries change the government of some country?
Comments
Yes! I was very happy about the results. I couldn't find any positive aspect of Trump's presidency. I feel, he is an immoral person and has a strange relationship with the truth, to say the least. I don't want any more of such people in high positions.
What do you think about involvement of media in election process? Do you think It is right that some media clearly support one of the sides, laying to own followers or showing not-full view of some case?
Tough question. The main goal of the media is to inform the citizens. When the main goal is to support one party, it is wrong. I don't know what may be the solution to this problem. Probably, not to follow the stories live but read the longer version of the description of certain events
What potential danger could bring to neighboring countries change the government of some country?
A very general question. It could change nothing or change everything. The dangers are from the smallest one like small disagreements to threats like total war.
2. I believe that the media should be able to show what they think is right, but not in the case of the presidential election. Presidential elections should be conducted and shown equally for each candidate. Hiding any facts or censorship is very similar to manipulating society. And manipulating people to select a candidate despite incomplete knowledge should be prohibited.
3. A change of government always brings a danger both for the state in which it takes place and for neighboring countries. Other countries may wish to take advantage of the temporary destabilization of a country and wish to invade it by arms or to force diplomatically important laws with which the country previously disagreed. The new government may also lead to new trade restrictions or choose other countries as partners.
2. As long as the media is privately owned and not publicly owned, I think they can support a convergent point of view. However, this may be a bit different from the idea of journalistic ethics and describing facts as they are.
3. I think that changing international relations is always inconvenient for at least one side. For many years, cooperation is built with someone, and suddenly it is not known whether it will be possible to build it in the same way. Uncertainty is inconvenient.
I'm so happy, but I'm not very interested in politics, so it's hard to say anything more about it. In my opinion winning Biden is an opportunity for change. I hope it will have a positive impact on the lives of citizens and that the new president will have good relations with the voters.

I believe that the media should remain impartial. A lot of people have the only information they have from the media. I don't think it always represents the real situation. As far as the presidential elections are concerned, I do not support the media taking sides.

What potential danger could bring to neighboring countries change the government of some country?
I am not interested in US election. However I think there was more hype around Vice President than around Biden, but I love the fact that Kamala Harris became a VP because it was considered impossible during her growth. This proves how strong she is.

I think this is not new and it is practiced everywhere. Moreover, in elections, the media is one of the most important sources to influence people's opinions. All is fair in war
What potential danger could bring to neighboring countries change the government of some country?
I think this quetion for essay. Everything can be changed or nothing. It depends on previous relationship between these countries. It is hard to say
2. Media's involvement is not bad unless it is paid from taxes. If anybody wants, he can make his own TV channel and tell whatever they want to the audience. It's we who choose what we want to watch. I hope that people will be clever enough to find out, that taking news only from one channel is not good, and we should be more objective. And, of course, if some media channel tells a lie, it should be penalized in court.
3. From nothing to revolution, I guess. Let's take a look at Belarus - the government even was not changed (I think we know why) and a lot of people protests. People are getting threats, people are being arrested. A lot of harm is being made and it's all because of the elections. Now, everybody (apart from Russia) from Belarus government's view seems to be an enemy.
Of course, I am very satisfied with the results of the Presidential election. In my opinion every person in this world that values the liberty as the common right of every single human being, cares about the future of our environment and is concerned about our planet should be as glad as I am. Moreover, the vice-president Joe Biden not only has presidential values, but has a great opportunity to change the image of the USA and improve their relationship with European Union.
2. What do you think about involvement of media in election process? Do you think It is right that some media clearly support one of the sides, laying to own followers or showing not-full view of some case?
It is a great question. I strongly believe this a huge issue of the 21st century and is just more noticeable in this particular case. Nowadays people do not want to listen to other people’s opinion. Very often not only they do not listen to somebody’s opinion, but they just focus on what to say next during the conversation. And because of that, people after a long day at work just want to watch and listen somebody that shares their political views.
I really do not think that this huge involvement of media is great, because people are even more reluctant to change their opinion and because of that the society is even more divided. However, the mainstream media is not the only available choice of the typical citizen. What I mean but that is that people make their own choice of what they want to listen and watch. For example, FOX supports republicans and CNN democrats, the typical viewer has the knowledge about it before they decide to watch this channel and the same citizen chooses to watch it because like I said before it just comfortable for him/her. To be more precise, of course it is not right to show only one side, but the statistics show that people find in enjoyable and this is what they expect and what they want to watch/listen.
3. What potential danger could bring to neighboring countries change the government of some country?
In this particular question I am going to answer quickly, because I think it cannot be simply generalized. It really depends on the continent, region and politician situation between these countries. However, the potential dangers might result in some trade conflicts or more strict checking during the crossing of the border.
I am so pleased with the change of president in the United States. Donald J. Trump was an amazing populist, just like the ruling political party in Poland. His views were controversial, but in today's world He was already outdated. He quarreled the USA with the European Union, he sparked a trade war with China, relations with Russia are undefined. I have the impression that his screams spoke to simple, uneducated people. I am glad that a democrat became president, I hope that this may result in some changes in power in Poland.
What do you think about involvement of media in election process? Do you think It is right that some media clearly support one of the sides, laying to own followers or showing not-full view of some case?
Of course I don't think it's okay. Unfortunately, this world looks like that. Every organization has an owner, a budget that depends on something. However, I believe that the media has a great influence on the election process. Television reaches virtually all inhabitants of the country, hence it is easy to provide limited information. It is very easy to spread propaganda.
What potential danger could bring to neighboring countries change the government of some country?
I think that nowadays, in civilized countries, there is no danger. Unfortunately, in an increasing number of countries governments are formed by populists who express very controversial, but also popular views. Unfortunately, nothing concrete comes out of it, and often these views are just lies. These politicians often do not know the realities, they threaten other countries and are simply plankton, playing no role in international politics.
Although I always try to think well about people and with such extremely different opinions of both candidates, I try to think that nothing affects the outcome of the election beyond beliefs. Unfortunately the analyses say something completely different and here the influence of the media is indescribable. I think that if it wasn't for the media's explicit support for Biden, he wouldn't win.
I am not able to answer this question, because I am not interested in politics as much. I think that this is a change for Poland, because the current government supported Trump very much, but we will see what comes out of it.
It’s very difficult for me to say anything that matters in case Biden vs. Trump, because I know nothing about them. The only piece of information I have is from our polish TV, which I suppose is not the best source of facts.
I understand that some people would do everything for their leader, including violence, but in my heart I hope that common good, recognition of the consequences and emotional intelligence will rise above it all.
2. We have a free market, free media. We should not interfere with the media as long as they are telling the truth and are not spreading fake news.
3. It's hard for me to comment on this because I don't know enough about world politics. However, for example, a change of the president of Belarus could accelerate integration with Russia or, on the contrary, bring Belarus closer to the West.
No I’m not satisfied from US President choose. I don’t know why some many celebrities are agains Trump. He was a controversial president but also a good one. He wants good for all US citizens. With businessmen’s skills he did stopped economic collapse by not announced another lockdown. He breaks agreements with China, making US companies to produce on US soil which provides more jobs in factories. And Biden, I think he will be sloppy president. There will be huge problems in Central US where people don’t care about modern and international things. Central US need a guarantee from president. But for know we only hear that he wants to reduce oil extraction which is bad for Texas. Who knows maybe Texas will separate from US. That will be something bad for US.
What do you think about involvement of media in election process? Do you think It is right that some media clearly support one of the sides, laying to own followers or showing not-full view of some case?
Every social media or tv station has their owners. Everyone of them have their own point of view. Someone likes him dislike him and so on. I know it’s unhealthy lie into viewer face or favorite their own ‘best option’ for potential president. Nowadays involving into election especially in country like USA does not shock me. World is kind a strange this days and everything has to be politically correct. Every media has to show its story. For instance, Trump favored more whites so tv station where editor in chief is another skin color will be calling people that he is a big racist and please vote for second candidate because he cares more for minorities.
What potential danger could bring to neighboring countries change the government of some country?
It’s hard to say. Every new government wants its own good but also has an interest and care about citizens. We should generalize every country because they have their own agendas. There is a risk with every change in government. There could be protests, inside war or just smooth transition from one government to another. But every change has more influence on international relations and partnerships. Every government has their own vision so some contracts could be invalid, making countries to renegotiation terms. We should be aware of such a problem.
2. I believe that the media should not present us with news they have interpreted. They should be neutral in all this. Yes, I am sure that some media clearly support one side, our Polish TVP is perfect example here, which, definitely in favor of PiS, present news
3. Recently, when I was running, I was listening podcast where elections are about to take place in one country (I think Suriname), podcast host said that one of the candidates with chance of winning or current president would be very pleased if Trump wins election due to fact that he will not be held accountable for what he has done in the past (drug trafficking, I think), shows what threat and what changes can change of president in another country bring. Second example is famous Mexican border wall that Trump was about to build.
1. I'm very satisfies that Donald Trump lost, a person like him should have never been allowed to be the president of the United States of America in the first place. As for the winner, Joe Biden won't be the best president of all time, but for sure I believe he will do some good things during his time in the White House.
2.What do you think about involvement of media in election process? Do you think It is right that some media clearly support one of the sides, laying to own followers or showing not-full view of some case?
2.Media will always have involvement in election process. We could make laws that don't allow any of it, but it should interfere with freedom of speech. On the other hand, media should be viewed as neutral, so maybe a law like it wouldn't be that bad of an idea.
The best way of media involvement I've seen during this election, is Twitter banning various Trump's tweets and even adding information to his tweets that they are spreading false information. Hats off to Twitter's moderation.
3.What potential danger could bring to neighboring countries change the government of some country?
3. I'm not that involved in politics, so it's hard to form a statement on this matter. I think if the president doesn't have radical views and he clearly doesn't want to be involved in some wars, changing government should only have positive outcome on neighboring countries.
