Abstract

Critical discourse analysis, as a discourse analysis method, is of great significance in revealing the relationship between power, ideology, and discourse hidden behind the language. As an essential way of disseminating information, news is always accepted by people without any bias, but the ideology contained in it is often overlooked by readers. Therefore, based on Fairclough’s three-dimensional analysis model, this paper makes a critical analysis of six news reports on TikTok by CNN for the sake of exploring the ideology and political position hidden behind the text. The results show that the selected reports basically follow the principles of objectivity and truthfulness, but the truthfulness is limited and inevitably influenced by national ideology, with doubts and negative evaluations hidden between the lines.
