#Inauguration

         

Unfortunately since I was at work during the Inauguration I was only able to catch the departure of Obama as he flew away in the Helicopter.

The observation that I wanted to make was that during the departure I switched between multiple media outlets on the Facebook livestream. CNN FOX and UNIVISION for the Latino community.

Although I was not able to capture in the screenshots, there was tremendously divided reactions to the Inauguration from the people commenting and "reacting" to the videos.

FOX showed many people commenting positively towards Trump and negatively towards Obama's departure, often utilizing racial slurs.

UNIVISION showed a vast amount of sadness towards Obama's departure as president and many disapproving "angry reaction emoji's"  any time Trump was Onscreen

CNN showed the most diversity of the 3 but not by very big margins. For as many people as there were positive comments or even Optimistic comments about the new POTUS there was Just as many Negative comments and then some.

Non of this was surprising as it's given that people tend to watch whatever media appeals to their own political stance.

Overall the Event went on just as expected, the time now comes to see what Pres. Trump will do.
