    1. The NBC News poll surveyed 1,000 registered voters from March 7-11 via a mix of telephone interviews and an online survey sent via text message. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points

      This shows how the poll was done and the margin of error.

    2. Thirty-six percent of registered voters identified themselves as MAGA supporters in the March NBC News poll. It’s a significant increase from past NBC News polling — up from 23% of respondents in a merged sample of all of NBC News’ polling across 2023 and 27% of respondents in a merged sample of NBC News’ 2024 polling.

      This information shows all of the statistical analysis that was used in this poll.

    1. "But whatever. Moving on, we got a new show. We got Jack Black this week. We're here talking about GERD. We will be fine."

      This article represents the news value of prominence as it has to do with celebrities disagreeing, and bringing in other people who are famous.

    2. "Get me to God's country"

      This metaphor stated by Wallen shows that he feels like SNL is not a place of purity or a place he wanted to be, kind of bashing SNL for their sense of humor.

    3. And it was already such a small grouping on the stage anyway. So it was just like, oh wow, that was pretty visible. You know what I'm saying? It was a pretty visible thing."

      Saying it was visible suggests that Morgan Wallen didn't seem to care what was perceived of this decision to leave early.

    4. "I'm not saying Morgan Wallen is Prince, but we weren't surprised because Prince was notoriously kind of standoffish. It's just how he was

      The comparison to Prince shows that sometimes celebrities do not interact with the cast, but it isn't common.

    5. "Seems like a complicated individual, I guess,

      This metaphor is leaning into how Wallen does not appear to be friendly or outgoing towards others.

    6. Kenan Thompson calls Morgan Wallen's SNL early exit 'spike in the norm':

      The phrase "spike in the norm" is a metaphor suggesting that it was out of the ordinary.

    1. The clip, which came out last year, is now making headlines as more and more of Reynolds and wife Blake Lively’s interviews and actions are under scrutiny due to their lawsuit against actor Justin Baldoni.

      This is really bad timing for Ryan Reynolds as it only hurts his lawsuit.

    2. WOW! Disgusting.”

      Another opinion

    3. “I thought it was very crude in the movie having those words come out of a little kid and now, knowing that was his OWN child he put that kind of pressure on her or he would find another child actor to say it for the scene…That is sooo disturbing,”

      This is literally an opinion as the quote begins with "I thought."

    1. “not been transparent” about what it is doing and not done enough to “convince me that these specific remedies are called for”.

      And yet, it is followed with a statement supporting the point that is being made in the article, defending Columbia.

    2. antisemitic incidents on Columbia’s campus during anti-Israel protests, and that the university had mishandled them in a “clear violation” of federal anti-discrimination law.

      It is interesting to me that they decided to include a rebuttal as to show a non-partisan viewpoint on the situation.

    3. the first amendment still guarantees universities the right to shape their own expressive communities, and many of the demands that the administration is making would intrude on that right.”

      I have been thinking a lot about the First Amendment and how it's being violated so often by government officials. Where do we draw the line with following the constitution and being restricted by the media?

    4. effort to block a US Department of Education ultimatum calling for colleges and universities to cancel campus diversity initiatives or risk losing federal funding.

      Bringing up the disembodiment of the Department of Education brings yet another relevant hot topic to the surface, providing more reasoning as to why the government is not protecting the universities through its new policies.

    5. sent a letter to 60 schools warning that they are under investigation for discriminating against Jewish students; and arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia student who led pro-Palestinian protests, under an obscure provision that gives the US secretary of state the power to deport foreign nationals whose presence in the US has “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States”.

      This quote is relevant to the story while also providing another example of how Columbia is specifically being targeted by the government, and how the government is being unlawful in its arrests and new policies regarding Palestine.

    6. Many of the demands that the Trump administration is making are not lawful, Jameel Jaffer told the Guardian. Jaffer, who said that he did not speak for the university, is the executive director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia

      This article has many direct quotes from people who work at Columbia University, showing bias towards supporting Columbia and not the government in this situation. It also supports the use of pr.

    7. Other colleges and universities across the US have been watching to see how Columbia reacts to the letter, which is widely viewed as a test case for academic freedom.

      This quote supports how pr has an affect in news sources even down to the details of companies and universities protecting their image by waiting to see what similar organizations promote about themselves.
