Different Realities, Part 4
Three time previously, 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.
THE NEW YORK TIMES:
The tax fraud case, which was in New York, then the election.
THE WASHINGTON POST:
The election, then a Washington Post "exclusive" on the January 6th special counsel, then the tax fraud case.
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
The tax case, the January 6th committee, and the election.
NEW YORK POST:
ok, it's the New York Post. Sports first. Then the tax fraud case, and let's go after the New Jersey guy.
FOX NEWS:
Murder in Idaho! Gabby Petito! The Election! BIDEN SCANDAL!!!
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.
In April, 2020, the divergence was over the COVID-19 pandemic.
Today, there are several things going on, including, most prominently a major conviction in a big tax fraud case and a major Senate election. But the topic seems especially relevant now, as less than a week ago there was a brouhaha on twitter over "The Hunter Biden files," in which is was alleged that twitter had suppressed a major news story. So, without further introduction, let's see who is suppressing what, this time.
Here are the "above the fold" pages, currently on the various sites. Taking the same sources as in the April 2020 post. Some of these aren't like the others.
CNN:
The Senate run-off is most prominent, followed by the tax case verdict.
