Two
Ways of Receiving News
There is no doubt that America is experiencing one of the
most divided and heated times since the Civil War. The far left and far right
are constantly protesting, even sometimes violently, to make sure their point
gets across. This all begins with the way they are being presented with their news.
CNN and Fox News are completely different in how they convey their news to their
respective audiences. For example, with the recent release of the Mueller
Report, Fox News covered the part of the report that said President Trump did
not collude with the Russians during the 2016 campaign. However, CNN chose to
focus on the part of the report that stated that the President was not ‘exonerated’
in any way. According to the
Washington Post, “How Americans react to the findings may depend in part on
where they get their news.” One
set of facts can be translated into two totally different interpretations.
