He is well known for the enterprise and wealth he has made for himself.

Shining a less malicious light on this sudden increase

Is this some sort of praise? Diddy's followers and supporters are still choosing to support him after all the abuse he has done

Prominence, this is just weird too

a privileged person who has never had to deal with the consequences of his actions, just like a person with high status, they often get away with things while the people they deem to be below them face the consequences

abuse of power theme

king/dictator narrative

"Caught in a web" metaphorically means to be trapped or entangled in a complex situation, often with seemingly no way out, similar to how an insect would be stuck in a spider's web, with the "web" representing the intricate and inescapable circumstances. victims had no place to go for help

Prominence, Hollywood stars

battle of power, will Diddy and his reputation continue to hurt the innocent, or will good win?

Prominence, credited with the success of others as well, being partial to diddy, he did help others gain successful careers

trying to gain some sort of sympathy from the audience

Prominence again, this part is trying to shed a positive light on Diddy, but yet again depicts him as a man of high status and reputation, or as a king whose "empire" has collasped.

reference back to a fall from grace, his own luxurious life has been turned upside down

Prominence, mogul is a synonym to king

Enforcement of power, using specific strategies to target someone's weakness or moment of weakness

Putting down people to make oneself feel more power, compliant to Diddy's "orders", king narrative

Superiority -> using an external force to exercise power over someone, in this instance using drugs to make someone unconscious

Abuse of power

Displays that there is a sense of fear surrounding Diddy. People know of his power and do not want to reap the consequences, thus why many victims do not come forward.

Prominence, synonym of mogul -> king

Clear your name -> prove innocence and defend your own reputation

Signifies that Diddy will not stop his fight until he has defeated the case. "A fight to the bitter end"

News value -> Unusualness

News values -> Timeliness

News value -> Prominence

Just like a king, he has a trusted circle of individuals that help him keep his power. Often this "loyal network" uses scare tactics to belittle others from sharing their truth.

Abuse of power, exerting one's force upon others to get your way. Just like how royalty or government authorities exert their power to control citizens.

Diddy had power to make things happen.

Only the best of best celebrities would be invited to these parties. Diddy only surrounded himself with other people of prominence, just like how most royalty only truly associates with other royalty.

A king's castle

Like a king, Diddy was always protected. He had his own personal "military"

Royalty narrative. This obsession with the royal family signifies that Diddy thrives to have authority over others.

king narrative? or dictator narrative?

King narrative -> the one IN CHARGE of a circus He runs the show

Constant attention to prove and to really showcase the grasp he had over others and the media.

Back to the king and royalty narrative.

Biblical reference from the fall of Adam and Eve after Original Sin. Signifies a sudden decline or loss of status, prestige, and respect.

Relates back to "downfall", past tense

Prominence, all huge, influential celebrities Metaphor: "rub shoulders" signifying someone of social significance

Prominence again, "most sought-after" also can relate back to the superiority narrative, everyone strived to be like him or around him

This signifies a certain fall from grace from the top. -> News value: Prominence

This signifies power/control over others. Thus the narrative will follow along the lines that Diddy views himself as superior to all and as "king" exerts his power over others.

Things to consider: How were questions worded?

Election Poll: Who are you gonna vote for?

Things to consider: How many people were interviewed?

The metaphor here is "stoking". In a literal sense "to stoke" means add coal or other substances to fuel a fire. This means that Trump has been fueling the fire and rumors that there has been electoral fraud in Pennsylvania. This is a submerged metaphor.

The news values presented in this article are timeliness, prominence, and impact. This is timeliness as the article was just published today. This displays prominence as Trump is a celebrity and huge social figure in America. This is impact as well, as this may affect the polls in the upcoming election.

This is a phrasal metaphor. The term "crying" implies that there is some sort of need for a change or difference to appease oneself.

Crying is the metaphor from this Rolling Stone article. Crying entails emotions of sadness or anger. In this scenario, "crying" implies a protest, demands, and displaying annoyance.

Even Kim Kardashian has come to defend the brothers, influencing her followers to advocate for them too. This case has also been in lots of young people's media, especially through TikTok.

This signifies that the American mindset has developed greatly over the past couple of decades and is more understanding.

I think this has become very relevant today. Even recently with the Abercrombie CEO sex trafficking scandal, people often tend to believe only women are victims of sexual abuse which is just completely false.

All this detail was explicitly shown in the Netflix series.

These brothers being young and conventionally attractive displayed a different side of America; a side that supports murderers because of their good looks and interesting background.

Both of these cases are engraved in the nations mind. Many people can look back at when these cases first began and describe in detail what happened. People love the drama, with case being wealthy, white men, and from Hollywood all eyes all over America were on a television screen. Furthermore, these cases being televised and becoming so popular signifies that the nation is obsessed with murder, drama, and sexual appeal.

Both of these shows that aired on Netflix got huge media attention, and caused an uproar on social media, often with people defending the two brothers. Many people even took to social media to call for a retrial to show their support and love to the brothers.

Times are very different now compared to how they were in the 1980s. Sex crimes and offenses were often overlooked and doubted highly in the courts. Now, with the rise of these cases the criminal justice system handles these cases very seriously due to how common these crimes have unfortunately become.

It is important to note that this case has had an unprecedented amount of attention since it first came about. People feel very strongly about this case, and the brothers have thousands upon thousands of supporters.

Timeliness

This signifies control. People simply looking for job prospects and opportunities were being played like chess pieces for the pleasure of these high-power men.

I think it is so important for victims to feel comfortable to come forward and to not let their abusers to continue having power over them. I think the public needs to be more accepting to victims of these crimes and not just turn a cold shoulder because the person being accused of the crimes is influential.

Similar to Jeffrey Epstein. That case was so important for all the cases following after that, it encouraged victims to speak up and let their voices be heard.

Prominence, Timeliness

This shocks me. These evil men did everything possible to cover their tracks and to intimidate their victims.

These NDAs signifies the use of intimidation and sparking fear within people.

I feel like these sorts of cases continue to come out more and more. The Hollywood industry, which I would assume these men were apart of, does a terrible job at protecting vulnerable people who are looking to make social connections. Rather, people in high power continually take advantage of innocent people.

Were these victims also people who worked under him? The party setting also reminds me of the huge case revolving around P. Diddy at the moment.

This seems very similar to the Harvey Weinstein and #MeToo Movement. People see an incredibly wealthy and influential man who does not use his power for good, rather he abuses it.
