Vaccination Bias against CNN and Big Bird

This Fox article dived into the Sesame Street propaganda. Sesame Street characters had tweeted out that they received the vaccination and were encouraging children to make sure they are vaccinated. This is much like how famous stars and singers got vaccinated, but Sesame Street was aimed at younger audiences. It was clear the bias in the article as it laid out many comments and tweets going against what CNN and Sesame Street were trying to promote. Lines of government propaganda for your five-year-old were thrown around by Twitter users. It shows the bias in the article as they were showing the negative reactions of the vaccination tweets and did not really focus on the vaccinations themself. Compared to CNN which only discusses answers about vaccination and why children need to be vaccinated. This further shows their bias push for a certain audience appeal. The articles aim for an audience with certain political views as they both push for or against the vaccine. Furthermore, the use of Sesame Street shows the common link between mass media and politics. CNN used them in order to show children that they should get the vaccination like their favorite animal characters. This is similar to the use of TikTok in vaccinations and the recent campaign.
