Different Realities, Part 3

Image
Twice before, I have written about how different media outlets cover an event. In May, 2018 , it was coverage of protests in Gaza after the US opened its new embassy in Jerusalem. In January, 2019 , the topic was the end of the US government shutdown. Today, we are in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are the "above the fold" pages, currently on the various sites. One of these isn't like the others. CNN:  Mostly COVID-19: A main report on testing, some statistics, a couple of features, the situation in Texas, and op-ends. THE NEW YORK TIMES: All COVID-19, starting with statistics and states. THE WASHINGTON POST: COVID-19 feature leads, followed by states. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL COVID-19: Texas and testing. And, of course the stock market. NEW YORK POST: Local tragic impact of COVID-19. And sports. FOX NEWS: Biden scandal! Kim Jon Un! Did we say, "Biden Scandal"? BIDEN SCANDAL!!!
