Difference between News Outlets

Differences between News Outlets

To begin, My two news outlets are Fox News(1) and CNN, aka the Cable News Network(2) with their respective links below:

1.http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/04/21/india-seeks-death-penalty-for-rape-girls-under-12.html
2.https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/21/asia/india-death-penalty-child-rape-intl/index.html

When reviewing both of the sources, some of the information was vague or appeared out of context. Furthermore, it was stated by Fox News that the decision of a municipal ordinance to implement stricter laws created "outrage" over the recent brutal rape and killing of an 8-year-old girl in Jammu-Kashmir state and the alleged rape of a girl by a ruling party lawmaker in Uttar Pradesh state. As a result, you begin to wonder which groups are outraged. In the context, that statement constituted the entire paragraph and further explanation wasn't offered.

In contrast, CNN gave more information which accommodated for both perspectives; minority groups demanding stricter laws and Modi's political party. Furthermore, everything was explicitly stated, removing vagueness and misinterpretation. While both sources weren't deliberately using any techniques to manipulate their writing, the main issue was the contrast in information. For example, CNN included multiple perspectives and dates, all with little to no bias. On the other hand, Fox News reported the same events, however, it was difficult to understand when or where something happened, or why it happened. In the end, the amount of information was the main difference between Fox News and CNN.

Childish Gambino-This is America

Childish Gambino-This is America 5/13/18 To Begin, Donald Glover an American singer, actor, and comedian comments on gun violence and other social issues within society through his new song-This is America. The song was published on May 5, 2018, and was followed by large controversy. Within the video, Donald Glover explicitly shows the reality of gun violence, and brings to light the social issues throughout the background and shots. These shots are subtle and but implicitly show how they're important as well when contrasted by the more lively actions portrayed by Donald Glover himself. Within the video, Donald Glover explicitly shows the reality of gun violence by replaying events, one of which references the Charleston shooting. To begin, the first verse talks about entertainment media and transitions onto the first killing. To verse drastically changes to the chorus, the camera quickly averts its attention, the victim is dealt with, and the weapon qui

Making Cents Out of Teens

Making Cents Out of Teens 5/19/18 Upon watching PBS Frontline’s “Making Cents out of Teens,” it didn't really surprise me. I know that companies make lots of assumptions about teens, most of them beginning with, "All teens want or need this". On the other hand, I realize that companies try to project their own image of the "ideal" teenager based on focus groups and interviews. Overall, I would just be talking about the disadvantages of their advertising techniques and I am just going to give my two cents on the issue. To begin, the advertisers within the film generally made the assumption that most teens are attracted to sex, violence, and excitement. As a result, advertisers cater to their audience's needs. To the point in which products or shows become overly vulgar or fan-service orientated. This just has a chain effect as more and more products revolve around this assumption. Secondly, the entire projection of a mook or midriff seems
