10. Summary of thesis results:
The American press still prides itself on being “honest, fair, and objective,” but what is the truth? What is the concept of “media bias”? Does the relationship between journalists and politicians affect honest reporting? Does the public still trust American newspapers? This thesis will answer these questions.

Based on research and analysis of the way US President Barack Obama, US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and US presidential candidate Donald Trump appear in foreign press, this study hopes to evaluate and comment on the current state of the US press: honesty and objectivity.
In addition to the introduction, conclusion and references, the thesis consists of three chapters as follows:

Chapter 2: The current state of foreign politicians' images in American online newspapers. In chapter 2, students examine the current state of American politicians' images through research on news and articles in 3 surveyed online newspapers. From there, they point out the advantages and limitations, and on that basis, draw some lessons in using the media to promote the images of politicians.
Chapter 3: Some suggestions. From the information and surveys in Chapter 2, students make some suggestions to improve the reporting skills of political reporters and suggestions for Vietnam in improving the image of politicians in the coming time.
