Rating the News Sites

Many stories are written in a positive or negative way to make a event seem in a negative or a positive way. Each news source has a way of tell how an event happened whether it is true or false information. Most of the time a news station hears about an event occurring and tries to be apart of it by telling the story but the source does not always have all the details so it is not credible. Usually by the day after the event occurs is when the media is a little more accurate with the details, but not one hundred percent yet. If one does not check different news sources for the same event to check the informations, the source can mislead the person and give false information. A news station like Fox News believes in personal responsibility and limited government, where ABC News believes in government actions for equal opportunity. With having different view neither source will be exactly the same because both have different ways of writ ring and

The biggest breaking story I chose was about the Afghans heading to the polls to vote amid the threats of insurgent attacks. On the CNN website, it seemed like the story was less detailed and descriptive than the other sites. Even though it covered the situation in Afghanistan, the information was delivered in a more passive way than FOXNews and MSNBC, almost as if it was a more opinion-based article. I noticed also that some of the key points that were covered on the CNN site were also covered in the other sites. Information on how many candidates were competing for election and how many seats were available in parliament seemed to be a point that all of the sites included. One main difference in the information that CNN covered, compared

Within these two popular news channels, stories and changes within the government are altered to fit the watcher’s views. While Fox News focuses on the more conservative points of view of the public, CNN places their informative stories in a more Liberal light. Fox news tends to report stories in a one-sided viewpoint, which creates a lack of space for viewers to establish an opinion of their own. CNN reports their stories in more of a broad spectrum and positive light, which allows its viewers to gain more of a perspective in problems that are persisting in today’s society. I believe that, out of Fox News and CNN, Fox News displays the most of muckraking today because it only provides one side of the story, with only personal opinions as their proof. In the past, muckraking was meant to be more a informative style of journalism but as the years went by, many people use yellow journalism as a form of entertainment and way to make money; this journalism has seemed to emerge in other ways and slowly disappear in

When looking at the tones of The New York Times, Fox and The Huffington Post I saw different contrasts. The New York Times which is a direct news outlet, had exceptionally positive and peppy tone in the greater part of the articles/recordings about the shooting. The tone of the articles was based on "the diversion must go on" allegorically and truly! Besides, the tone of the articles was more matter of act and breezed over the realities. Interestingly, the Tone of the articles and recordings on Fox News- - the preservationist outlet- - appeared to be more genuine. Likewise, the tone of Fox News appeared to be terrified, there were refreshes consistently and arrangements of what they knew about the shooting. Finally, the tone of Huffington present

There were distinct ideological beliefs presented in the articles. MSNBC is very progressive and sees the Democratic party as infallible. In their narrative Republicans are evil, stupid, and racist. If Obama says "jump", MSNBC is already falling off the bridge. CNN tries to present itself as unbiased but fails. It is not an utter failure. At some points the facade of neutrality is believable. But their pro-establishment bias is strong. I felt like they preferred Democrat's; but in a Republican presidence the roles may reverse. Finally Fox News i very conservative and pro-Republican. While CNN and MSNBC treat Obama as a strong leader, Fox contrasts this with depictions of a weak man. Fox was the oppisite extreme of MSNBC. It really just felt

Fox News is conservative which means that they believe in gun rights. Fox News have mainly covered on patron James Shaw Jr. and his heroic actions. Fox News also reported very quickly after President Trump congratulated Shaw. The report’s first words were, “President Trump on Monday spoke with James Shaw Jr., the man hailed as a hero for stopping the mass shooting at a Waffle House in Tennessee last month, the White House announced”. Last but not least, NBC News. All newscast including NBC gave the story and facts of what occured in the shooting. NBC’s stories differ from the others because of their liberal views. NBC gave further information about the victims and interviewed their families. NBC also is currently making more reports on how the gunman was given the weapons by his father. The report stated, “The family of one of the four people killed in a shooting at a Waffle House restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee, is suing the suspected gunman's father, accusing the Illinois man of negligence”. When it comes to stories like these people need to follow the truthful news

The fourth video, Fox News, at first glance when it came on and I saw four women and 1 man on the panel I thought for sure that it was going to be one sided in favor of Janay Rice. What I did not expect to hear was Ed Henry stating that Ray Rice was treated unfairly because it was caught on video. Unfairly... Are you kidding me. He was not treated unfairly. He chose to put his hands on his wife and that comes with consequences. I felt Fox News depicted the case fairly, one person felt like the perpetrator was treated unfairly, and they really did not say that much about Janay.

New York Times, Fox News and John Kelly’s speech all show many similarities to each other. One big similarity that Fox News and Kelly’s speech has in common is that they think the ban is a good

The picture above is proof that the media skews the information according to their audience. Both of these articles were written on the same day in the same city.

They tend to focus on points that were based on opinion rather than facts so that they may receive more ratings, in turn create more profit. I once again turn to the same story of Chandra Levy’s disappearance. Although CBS just states the facts, Fox News states opinions in their polls, news article headings, and their complete coverage of the story, while focusing on Mr. Condit (Fox News 7/15/01). Fox News gained high ratings for the Chandra Levy story, only because they fed off of the icon, Gary Condit. Bringing a celebrity into anything makes it more interesting because he or she is more widely known. Now when you have titles such as “Condit’s Acting Guilty” (Dana Blanton, Fox News 7/07/01), you will have

Christiane Amanpour from CNN said: "I think the press was muzzled, and I think the press self-muzzled. I'm sorry to say, but certainly television and, perhaps, to a certain extent, my station was intimidated by the administration and its foot soldiers at Fox News. And it did, in fact, put a climate of fear and self-censorship, in my view, in terms of the kind of broadcast work we did." The aspect of self-censorship of the media confirmed also a reporter of The Washington Post Walter Pincus. Pincus had written many critical articles about the Bush administration and they all ended up published in the back

Fox news is an American station under the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) and chairman, Roger Ailes. Ailes has been active in political works, especially in “news business” since his involvement in Richard Nixon’s campaign in 1968. His success let him to work for CNN then eventually at Fox. Evidence has been shown that Ailes and Fox news has a habit in “misleading its viewers.”

FOX used CNN as their source for some of their articles, they changed the headlines to something totaly different. The following examples are showing the changes in the headlines. The actual CNN headline is USDA gay-sensitivity training seeks larger audience, Fox changed hte headline to Obama Bureaucrats Imposing Radical Homosexual Sensitivity Training? The

One thing that I noticed that was really strange about both articles were how similar the title and the start of the articles were to each other.The titles are almost the exact same the word choice is used a little differently but very similar. As for the start of each article they both start off with the exact same line with “President Trump said Tuesday that "all options are on the table". Then briefly after that get into the main subject of their stories. The washington post provided a picture of trump right at the top of the article as well as a video of trump talking about the event and a video of the missile being launched by north korea. Where Fox only provided one video of just 2 males talking about the event. All of these are very different from each other and both are setting different tones and giving setting a bias tone in my opinion.

Another example of these newspapers going against the public interest is when they hacked the phones of the relatives of deceased British soldiers and victims of the 7/7 bombings as this shows a lack of respect for, not only the law, but also people’s emotions.
