Selection, Slanting, and Charged Language."

    The article "Selection, Slanting, and Charged Language," by Newman and Genevieve Birk, focuses on; how who a person is and what they think of a certain object or idea. It influences how someone write about it. That is the principle of one's selection. If somebody is focusing on a topic dealing with a person they don't like, they can choose to word their ideas in such a way that it creates a very negative connotation.On the other hand, if a person is in good terms with the person they are writing about, the same facts will be written with a positive connotation. The facts and the truth of the existence of that person is the same, however the words are changed, or "Charged." The article stresses how simply having the facts, doesn't make what you say true. And also statistics can lie.
