Hi, I need help Identifying an example of news coverage that sterotypes a group of people and
a) define the stereotype
b) explain how the coverage perpetuates the stereotype?

Any suggestions that I can use?

I cant help to see what comes to mind in the Governor of New Jersey...and the bridge closing.

Some of the news coverage is showing the governor as a fat, rich, white guy who likes to bully others.

Do you see a sterotype: Republicans are old white men who bully others.
