 * Option 1: Social Media Use By Barrack Obama Article Evaluation: This is a well done article. It relates to the course concept of values and public image. It does a good job of describing the various ways he used the program. However, the article is not perfect. It does not mention the details of how Obamas political rivals attempted to use his social media against him. They often criticized his use of social media as well as reworking his posts to hurt him in some way. He also took to social media to advocate against disinformation which wasn't included in the article. In fact Obama says her regrets not bringing more attention to the issue during his campaign. He wishes he used his social media presence to bring attention to the issue since he was a victim himself.    Sources: https://thehill.com/policy/technology/3459415-obama-says-he-has-regrets-surrounding-disinformation-in-2016-election/  https://news.stanford.edu/2022/04/21/disinformation-weakening-democracy-barack-obama-said/
 * Option 2: Bernie Saunders Dank Meme Stash  Article Evaluation: This article is somewhat flaud but it relates to the course concept of identity.  It describes the reason behind the group was in support of Bernie. Many people thought it was a attempt to mock Bernie however it was the exact opposite. The grew was large in size with thousands of members. What this article doesn't mention is that being known for a internet fad like this is often beneficial to a candidate. I would provide examples from past elections like George Bush being known as someone you would like to drink with.

 * Option 3: Media Bias in the USA Article Evaluation: This relates to the class concept of elites steering discourseThis article is well done it does a good job of explaining media bias. One thing I would include it more case studies proving the media bias that exists.
