Opinion Pieces: Fox News v. MSNBC

 For this week, I will be showing two clips from two different daytime news segments hosted by Fox News and MSNBC- Deadline: White House with Nicolle Wallace and Tucker Carlson Tonight with Tucker Carlson.

An explanation of Deadline Whitehouse on NBC's Youtube reads:

About Deadline White House: Before getting into cable news, Nicolle Wallace worked in politics, including as President George W. Bush’s communications director during his administration and for his 2004 re-election campaign. Those experiences helped contribute to the knowledge and unique point of view she brings to this program. Wallace leads dynamic discussions on the political stories driving the news cycle with Washington insiders and well-sourced journalists. She also provides in-depth reporting while delivering up-to-the-minute breaking news to viewers.

MSNBC delivers breaking news, in-depth analysis of politics headlines, as well as commentary and informed perspectives. Find video clips and segments from The Rachel Maddow Show, Morning Joe, Meet the Press Daily, The Beat with Ari Melber, Deadline: White House with Nicolle Wallace, Hardball, All In, Last Word, 11th Hour, and more.

An explanation of Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox's Youtube channel reads:

FOX News Channel (FNC) is a 24-hour all-encompassing news service delivering breaking news as well as political and business news. The number one network in cable, FNC has been the most-watched television news channel for 18 consecutive years. According to a 2020 Brand Keys Consumer Loyalty Engagement Index report, FOX News is the top brand in the country for morning and evening news coverage. A 2019 Suffolk University poll named FOX News as the most trusted source for television news or commentary, while a 2019 Brand Keys Emotion Engagement Analysis survey found that FOX News was the most trusted cable news brand. A 2017 Gallup/Knight Foundation survey also found that among Americans who could name an objective news source, FOX News was the top-cited outlet. Owned by FOX Corporation, FNC is available in nearly 90 million homes and dominates the cable news landscape, routinely notching the top ten programs in the genre.

Both shows are discussing the militaries new inclusion plan-- a five-year plan that institutes structural, organizational, procedural and command changes to become a “model example of diversity, equality and inclusion.”

The video headline for Tucker Carlson Tonight reads: "Tucker: Military lowering standards in name of diversity."

Followed by the description: Retired Army Colonel Doug MacGregor reacts to fitness and intellectual standard changes in the military on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.' #FoxNews​ #Tucker

The video headline for MSNBC's Deadline: Whitehouse reads- Stavridis: Carlson Is Wrong. Women In The Military Are ‘Nothing But Additive’ 

Followed by the description: Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Adm. James Stavridis speaks to his positive experiences working with women in the U.S. Navy as the backlash grows against Fox News’ host Tucker Carlson for his comments denigrating women who serve our country.

I personally find Tucker Carlson's reckless rhetoric exhausting to listen to, but that is just my opinion. 

What are your opinions?
