Different Realities, Part 2
Last May, I wrote about how different media outlets covered an event.
Here's the coverage of the temporary end to the US Government shutdown.
CNN:
Short and simple: "Trump caves on the shutdown."
THE NEW YORK TIMES:
"Trump Agrees to End Shutdown in Surprise Retreat." No doubt as to who is to blame, and how it turned out politically.
THE WASHINGTON POST:
Lead with the Senate, but then add articles showing public reaction as well as the FBI pushing back.
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
Trump leads!!!
FOX NEWS:
Trump leads!!! And, like CNN, Fox also knows I recently googled lodging in Chicago, though they haven't quite figured out that the trip already happened.
