The phrase "A newspaper is a court
Where every one is kindly and unfairly tried" contains elements of **metaphor** and **personification**.
1. **Metaphor:** The metaphor here is comparing a newspaper to a court without using "like" or "as." It suggests that a newspaper serves as a place of judgment or evaluation.
2. **Personification:** The personification is in the idea that "every one" (referring to individuals or events) is "kindly and unfairly tried" within the context of the newspaper. Personification attributes human qualities, such as the ability to judge or try, to a non-human entity like a newspaper.
