- Who made - and who
sponsored - this message, and for what purpose?
The Daily show is the one who created this
video. The purpose of this news report is to make fun of politicians
(specifically Rob Ford in this video) from a very leftist- wing point of view.
2.
Who is the target
audience, and how is the message specifically tailored to them?
The target audience of this message is for
the people of Toronto, for whom this story is relevant. People in Toronto know that Rob Ford is not
doing a great job representing our city and his poor judgement and lack of
insight have become a joke to everyone around the world. Jon Stewart makes this
report very amusing and funny, therefore making this message geared towards
Torontonians.
3.
What are the different
techniques used to inform, persuade, entertain, and attract attention?
Jon Stewart is a brilliant political satirist,
who through the use of wit and sarcasm denounces Rob Ford. He does this by using video clips of Rob
Fords’ radio apology (but chosen specifically to humor the public), and showing
pictures with large eye catching slogans to grab the audience’s attention.
4.
What messages are
communicated (and/or implied) about certain people, places, events, behaviours,
lifestyles, etc.
The message communicated through this video
suggests that Rob Ford is a bad influence on Toronto, and therefore should not
be running the city. Rob Ford should get his ** together because he
is the mayor of Toronto and his behavior is completely inappropriate for
someone of his rank. Apologies are
meaningless in the face of continuous lies.
Unfortunately, the show also communicates that while Toronto has Rob
Ford as its mayor, it is a less desirable place for people to visit.
5.
How current, accurate,
and credible is the information in this message?
The information in this video is credible
because Jon Stewart is showing much seen footage of Rob Ford either
apologising, admitting or lying about different things people have accused him
of doing. The clips and pictures have been aired on Toronto T.V. and radio
stations.
6.
What is left out of this
message that might be important to know?
Chief Bill Blair’s opinion has been left out of
this message. He would be important to mention in this video because he is the
one who came out and said they (being the police) have the video of Rob Ford
smoking Crack-Cocaine and making racist and homophobic remarks. Even though the
point of this video is to make fun of Rob Ford essentially it would have
completed the truth about why Rob Ford is coming out and making all of these
big apology statements to the public.
