What is "NEWS"
« on: April 04, 2017, 08:59:53 AM »
It's whatever CNN and Fox decide (we all know that)

Look what Fox thinks is the big news today vs CNN

The big story of the moment on CNN is chemical attack in Syria

Note - no mention on Fox News of the Bill O'Reilly revelations at all. 

Also, Fox has ten plus stories about Susan Rice (which is also what they think is the biggest story of the moment) but not a single story (that I see) explaining how that the unmasking process works.   

CNN on the other hand has a story explaining how it works and claiming nothing was done improperly

If you only watch Fox you'd think this was some kind of huge scandal

If you only watch CNN you'd think this is much ado  about nothing

How have these types of things worked out in the past (think about any claim that Trump has made or even go back and think about Clinton email, Benghazi etc..)

Which network seems to always get it wrong

Hint = It's the same network that seems to have institutionalized sexual harassment for 20+ years

CNN needs to push the "chemical attack" in Syria.
Which looks like it was actually just the government jets hitting bad muzzie's chemicals factory in moderate beheader controlled area, which then blew up.

Anyway, this is CNN's and their masters last desperate push in their failed regime change op in Syria. Hence making it the main story.


But on topic and summa summarum: every media pushes their interests. There's no such thing as impartial or neutral media. I think it's impossible even as long as human beings are writing the stuff / deciding what gets covered.
