These days, news coverage on a specific topic will look very different depending on what news source you are getting the information from. Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN are three major news networks people look to when ingesting news coverage. My blog will highlight key differences in the way these news networks broadcast information on the same topic. While I will mainly be highlighting the differences of coverage between these three networks, I will also highlight any contrasting coverage that I see in the media ranging from talk shows, magazines, newspapers, podcasts, and other online news sources.

The tones and attitudes and rhetoric used by the networks differ depending on where you watch, listen to, or read. I understand this can be a controversial subject and there will be many varying opinions on the matter. I encourage my fellow classmates to post their perspectives and opinions on my posts! Every viewpoint is welcome.
