News networks are naturally different in reporting their stories depending on where they are located. FOX News is reputed to lean more towards the Republican side, being located in Dallas, Texas. CNN, on the other hand, has always seemed to lean a bit more liberal, seeing as they are located in New York. I chose these two in hopes that it would be a little bit more obvious in their differences.
On their websites, looking at the politics section, on FOX, we have coverage on protestors, the first meetings, cabinet role members, first ladies, etc…, however on CNN, I basically just see Trump bashing. They seem to be very worried since they really have no idea what he’ll do next. They also have an article coming up with five reasons Clinton won’t be prosecuted and several articles on different social groups fearing Trump.
I also watched a bit of a newscast on FOX News about the protests. The anchor was very sure to let the people know that it was kept non-violent though there were a mention of a few heated arguments when Trump supporters showed up and the protestors tried to cover up the Pro-Trump Signs. Compared to the CNN News, which was over a man being beaten up while bystanders were yelling about him voting for Trump. There were fifty people around and no one did anything to help. His car was stolen and he was severely injured.
I tried to find two videos that were about the same sort of topic. When reporting, FOX was a little bit more detached, CNN gave me more feeling, as there wasn’t really an anchor, but they also interviewed the man who was attacked and the topic was more of a sad one, versus just protestors blocking the street. But in history of me actually watching each news channel, I have noticed that CNN and the show with the four women, that includes Whoopi Goldberg is definitely pretty liberal. The fact that CNN is only worried about what Trump will do next and not the fact that there have been some pretty violent protests and riots from those who say “Love Trumps Hate” worries me. FOX has always been Republican and obviously with all this BLM, they have been on the side of the cops, who are accused of wrongful shootings.
All in all, you can’t totally expect a news channel to be completely in the middle, but depending on which one you watch, that’s the take on the information you will be getting.
