In the upcoming election, both candidates have been persuading American voters to vote for them in the election this winter. Although some methods of persuasion are acceptable, is redesigning the American flag taking propaganda to a new level? The Obama Campaign has replaced the stars on the American flag with his campaign logo. Todd Starnes, host of Fox News and Commentary, and the author of the article, 'Obama Campaign Redesigns the American Flag' states that critics are calling the flag un-American and creepy. Obama claims that the flag is used to show how "there are no red and blue states, just united states. Although his explanation seems reasonable, many people are upset with his campaign decision.
Fox News is generally biased toward Republicans, therefore I don't find it surprising that this article would be posted on a Fox website, instead of a CNN website which is mainly democratic. I don't think that Todd Starnes was trying to support Mitt Romney, but I definitely think he was appalled at Obama's choice. Starnes accomplished his goal in a way where I was able to completely view his point clearly and not even think about any other perspective.
