II. American internal policy and matters
THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES IN THE
PRESS
• The presidential elections in the USA
•Same-sex marriage
•The racial conflicts
in the cases of police brutality
•The image of B.Obama
1. we would like to notice that the question of elections is very currently topical in the USA. without any doubts that the Russian media is involved in it, but distinctive feature of Russian and American articles is the difference between the news and presentation of information. so, one of the presidential candidates - Donald Trump claim that if he wins elections and begins the president of the USA he will build relationships with Putin. He also said that V. Putin does not respect the current head of state - Obama that is why the relationships between 2 countries are nor good in recent years. moreover, Trump noticed that the USA has many conflicts with many countries thereby accusing the current president. We know that many Russian politicians, residents of our country disagree with foreign policy of Obama that is why we would like to see next American president who intends to cooperate with Russia.

Furthermore, The NYT published an article HOW D.TRUMP TALKS. Over the past week he called his political opponents 'stupid' at least 30 times in public. + he Mr. Trump's language is pessimistic. He uses the word 'problem' often - at least 87 times in the past week.

D.Trump as a scandalous person. RIA NEWS published an article, where he decided to solve the problem concerning the terrorism - he wants not to let the Muslims in the USA.

His comments were widely shared on social media throughout the Arab world. In a region racked by conflicts, his language had an impact, including in Egypt, where he was condemned by the country's highest religious authority and by many others, who called him an Islamophobe , a racist. many authorities of European countries convicted him.

MAIN CONCLUSION: DESPITE THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS OF THE FOREIGN AUTHORITIES, THE IMAGE OF DONALD TRAMP AND HIS HUMAN SHAPE ARE MORE POSITIVE AND FAVORABLE IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION. THE MAIN REASON IS THAT RUSSIA AND TRUMP PURSUE THE SAME GOALS IN SOME POLITICAL QUESTIONS. MOREOVER, RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE HEAD OF THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT - ONE OF THE POWERFUL STATES IN THE WORLD - SUPPORTER AND CO-THINKER. THAT IS WHY WE CAN SEE MASS PROPAGANDA OF THE POSITIVE IMAGE OF D.TRUMP IN RUSSIAN SOCIETY.
+ NOWADAYS THERE ARE CLASHES AND MISUNDERSTANDING ON MANY ISSUES BETWEEN TWO STATE LEADERS - V.PUTIN AND B.OBAMA THAT I IS WHY RUSSIAN PRESS PUBLISHES A LOT OF ARTICLES WHERE ARE CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE UNIRES STATES OF AMERICA AND CURRENT CANDIDATE FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

2. 26 of June 2015 supreme court of the USA made a decision according to which same-sex marriage does not contradict the Constitution. Thus, the law guarantees freedom and protection for every citizen. So, same-sex marriage became legal around all the country.
The reaction of Russian society to the legalization of same-sex marriage in the USA was very strange and wild for the West. So, we understand that the question of the same-sex relationships moved in sphere of policy.
Primarily, it is the instrument of pressure. That is why west governments often say about democracy, progress and equality while opponents have labels like dictatorship, stagnation and suppression. Many Russians perceive such actions as a challenge, others Russians perceive it as pressure and therefore they tried to give feedback. So, in Russia after legalization same-sex marriages the flag of straights was created. It was an answer American actions and distribution the flag of LGBT in the Internet.

How can we see American newspaper published the article about negative Russian relation to the LGBT events.
- necessary to notice that American article highlights this fact as a victory, while the Russian article just state the fact without expressing any feelings of joy.
They highlight that Russian journalist - Kyselev Dmitriy on his show stated that the homo-sexual should be banned from donating blood. Moreover, he said that their organs would be unsuitable for transplantation for others. We can noticed that the name of Russian president configure too. According to this article https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2013/12/16/not-so-gay-in-russia-india-and-australia/ Russians treat to LGBT how unworthy and undignified people.
but it is clear that this article is a tool of pressure and policy. Thus, 2 countries press to people, influence on their mind and give people deceptive image of the country.
3. Among the most discussed social issues in the USA is racial. Despite the obvious progress in this matter, the problem of racial prejudice is fiercely discussing in the USA. Moreover, the waves of striking racial conflicts appeared during the presidency B. Obama, whose rise to power, at that time accepted with the hope of further comprehensive changes in the social life of the country, including the matters of race relations. However, such issues was not only solved but even worsened. Therefore these questions are at the head of discussion.
Nowadays we can notice racial problems like events which were happened because of police brutality. Eric Garner died after being put a chokehold by the police on the sidewalk outside the shop. Garner suffered from asthma and overweight but the meet with police was the last event in his life.
In Russian mass media there was translation of this event about 2 days.
To compare the importance of this action, we can analyze Russian press and American - when we make a request we receive 3 results (http://izvestia.ru/search?search=эрик+гарнер+) or 4 results (http://www.vedomosti.ru/search?query=эрик%20гарнер&sort=date&categories=materials). But in American press we can see about 1770 results (in NY Times, for example).
So, we highlight that the problem of racial matters in cases of police brutality is shown as aggressive actions. But in the USA this problem reached a large scale, than in Russia.
The other typical events like this, for ex: the death of Michael Brown, Treivon Martin, Oscar Grant have the same coverage in Russian press.

4. Based on earlier analyzed articles we can say that when Obama became a president many Russians believed in close relations between 2 countries. However, the different lines of policy, constant clashes, pressing from mass media became a barrier for understanding.
In Russian press Obama is associated with American government and in the USA he is not.
