Robert Mueller once said, “All I'm going to tell you is investigations, whether it be this and others, where you have partial facts, analysts, agents are always trying to interpret what those facts mean, extrapolate from them what they mean.” I’m sure he never imagined that one day he would be a spearheading an investigation regarding an American President and Russia. As the investigations continue to be released and arrest are being made, each media source seems to have a different view on how investigations of the Trump Administration are being handled. I have analyzed two credible sources who have two different perceptions of the Mueller Investigations.  Authority, accuracy, objectivity, currency and coverage allows FOX News and MSNBC credible choices.

In October of 2017, Mueller moved to charge the Russian government due to interfering with the United States 2016 election by cyber interference and data theft which resulted in the US receiving the worse president in history. 12 Russian Military Intelligence Officers from the GRU have been indicted along with 13 others from a Russian Research Agency as well as 3 Russian Companies and a man from California who helped with identity theft. Both Fox News and MSNBC, covered this story extremely differently. MSNBC covered several different stories regarding the Russian probe and investigation which also included that Russia used Facebook to influence what media posts were released during the 2016 election. Devoting an average of 3% of their coverage to the Mueller investigation not including the 13% of coverage regarding Trump’s charges and scandals that also centered around the investigation. In January of 2018, Donald Trump ordered that Mueller be fired. MSNBC instantly covered this story and ran the headline for weeks after. Although several Anchors and Analysis on MSNBC had different perceptions and opinions, overall the channel had no hidden propaganda and voiced the truth regarding the Investigation, Updates and Charges against everyone involved unlike Fox News who selectively chose Stories that protected certain individuals involved in the Russian investigation.

Prior to the investigation Fox News was known as “Trump News” until Fox News joined with CNN for a lawsuit towards the Trump Administration. Fox has always run with the latest Trump stories however the coverage of the Mueller investigation was very limited until January when Trump ordered the firing of Mueller.
