  • One intended audience response is anger
  • Stereotypical americans 
  • "Hispanics for trump" not just americans voted for him

  • Hilary Clinton - represented as a strong powerful female and superiority, her and Trump represented at different ends of the spectrum. Also represents their political views, Clinton left wing and Trump Right wing

The Daily Mirror has politically backed The Labour Party, left wing. The times has politically backed The Conservatives.


The Daily Mirror is biased against Donald Trump (right wing) and saying "America's Brexit" suggesting that they don't agree with the decision showed by the people in the pictures being very stereotypical white trash with weird outfits and looks on their faces.
The Times seem to agree with Donald Trump with the photo showing him as a hero with the lighting and his fist in the air.



The representation of America:


The Daily mirror, has shown that America is in trouble, war in america - proairetic code
Ideology of producer - Doesn't agree with Trump becoming president and thinks Americans should feel the same
This is because they have used a picture of the statue of liberty (something that represents freedom), with her hands on her face, showing despair and how ashamed America should be.
This makes it seem like America is loosing hope and theres no freedom or equality anymore.
The background shows that theres destruction, implying that the results of the election aren't going to have a positive impact on America and the rest of the world.
The smoke in the background can be associated with war, violence, death and crime, showing that America is responsible for all of these negative things.  
The title "what have they done?" shows that something bad has happened and America is to blame, therefore representing America as a terrible country.
  
In the other daily mirror article, America has been represented in a less negative way. This is because they have a Latina woman, a disabled person and other ethnic groups , representing America as a diverse country.
