Jennifer Aniston Adopts 33-Year-Old Boyfriend From Africa
E! is a news source that is very focused on entertainment and what’s going on with the stars in Hollywood. The Onion “news” story I found also focuses on this subject. Both use gatekeeping to try and filter out negative views of the stars, or try to show them in the most positive light possible. The agenda or the E! news story is to portray stars as similar to us in their whereabouts. It constructs stars as people to look up to in order to appeal to the viewer and assumes that we care about their lives to distract us from our own. The Onion “news” makes a parody about this coverage. Like the newscasters on E!, the Onion newscasters make it a priority to exclaim their admiration for the stars in hopes we feel the same way.
