This article by CNN, a news outlet known to have liberal bias, reports on the recent events at a Donald Trump rally, where a Muslim women, Rome Hamid, was escorted out, due to her being Muslim. The article takes the side of the women, criticizing the people who boo'd and shouted obscenities such as 'You have a bomb, you have a bomb!'
The article is complementary to a TV report, and assumes that the readers know what the subject is, so it starts out by commenting on stars 'reminiscent of those worn by Jews during the Holocaust,'
which helps to bring perspective to how absurd the situation is. The article also quotes Trump, where he said, "'There is hatred against us that is unbelievable,' Trump said. 'It's their hatred, it's not our hatred." This further pushes the article's purpose, to oppose Donald Trump. It also brings to light the massive social equality issue that Trump has brought to the table with his radical views.
However, the article was not all doom and gloom, as the article also reported on how Hamid found many of the people very kind and supporting, and how many of them even shook her and and apologized for what was happening to her.
The article fulfills its purpose of reporting the incident, as well as succeeding at painting trump and his radical followers as, well, radical, while also showing that many people are still kind and open towards others.
