How does Fox vs. CNN compare in topic/event coverage over the last week?

I know this will come across as a bit of flame-bait, but:<p>What is the point in comparing two crappy news sources? Neither is worth spending time on.<p>Also, more on-point: Are they looking only at news, or are they including opinion?

The scariest thing about biased news sources is not how they cover something but <i>whether they cover something at all</i>.<p>People who don&#x27;t tune into multiple will simply have no idea that something even happened. They&#x27;ll have completely different realities based on their perceptions.<p>Just looking at the graph you can see four whole stories that CNN completely omitted, yet there was nothing that CNN covered that Fox ignored. I&#x27;m sure there are weeks where fox ignored something too, but in this data the omissions are one sided.<p>This is why one of my daily bookmarks is <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.allsides.com&#x2F;unbiased-balanced-news" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.allsides.com&#x2F;unbiased-balanced-news</a><p>If any outlet on <i>either side</i> covers it, I&#x27;ll see it.

From the first post, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;topdown.substack.com&#x2F;i&#x2F;47912680&#x2F;bias" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;topdown.substack.com&#x2F;i&#x2F;47912680&#x2F;bias</a><p><i>Let’s take a recent that has skewed coverage and is likely to be a split topic, such as Disney and the Florida “Parental Rights in Education” Bill. Here are some of the headlines from different outlets (Emphasis is mine).</i><p>CNN article is a short news piece with no external links, not much to see there.<p>Fox article is longer, original headline used the phrase &quot;woke corporations&quot;, includes &quot;Disney is bad&quot; external links in case it&#x27;s not clear enough from the article.<p>NYT article is a clearly labeled op-ed piece, obviously not comparable with the other two.<p><i>Aligning all of these hot-takes together</i><p>Not sure if it&#x27;s the author or his &quot;AI&quot; that thinks comparing all of these as &quot;hot-takes&quot; is a useful activity.

i&#x27;ll just leave this here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Manufacturing_Consent" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Manufacturing_Consent</a><p>You only <i>need</i> to read the first chapter, which is about 30 pages, to see the arguments. the rest of the book is example and analysis.

Not to accuse the author of bias, but surely are there must have been some topics covered by CNN that Fox didn&#x27;t?

It&#x27;s disappointing, but just a fact of life now, that people will see the world so differently. People have always had differing politics, but there was a semblance of a baseline. I feel like we need a generation that strikes out against the notion of identity altogether (as I think identity is a core part of the issue), but that already feels like an identity in itself.

I &quot;really hate&quot; how some &quot;news&quot; sites like to, &quot;quote excessively&quot; in headlines.<p>If you want to call some nonsense, or a bold face lie, have the damn courage to just call it that. Don&#x27;t air-quoting some nebulous entity to make it sound more official.

Both networks require large amounts of capital. Different sides of same dialectics that are important to those who influence large amounts of capital. A better comparison would be independent news sources of individuals against large corporate media.
