The News Bias Vs News Truth

Unlike other new stations that quite frankly go out and try to dis on President Trump, Fox News will spend a lot of time backing him up and give their viewers a sense that he isn't as bad as everyone says. As I was watching Fox, I would occasionally swap to CNN(not my choice in particular) to hear their thoughts on the election. The very first thing I had heard was how could you reelect a racist president. To be honest I switched the channel back to Fox almost immediately after hearing that. Fox news shorty after had a Segway into a different discussion, almost as if Fox News was listening to CNN they went on about how calling Trump A Racist isn't even a point worth making. Saying how he has created more jobs then a lot of previous presidents and how African Americans along with other minority groups strived off this and thank Trump for is efforts and successes. Now instead of Fox nit picking on Biden they head right back to Trump and made fair points on how trump might have the upper hand over Biden. They mention their uses of different tactics, Biden held open aired “rallies” over media instead of in person. Versus Trump using the door to door approach like how Fox said it should be handled. CNN did have John King speak in favor of Trump even considering CNN’s coverage is mostly democratic. John King talked about and shared information on the previous election attempting to upkeep Trump in hopes things would come around for him again in this election, since the election looks similar to how it did 4 years ago(although as of writing this it doesn't look as so). CNN in favor of Biden Mentions how the COVID-19 Virus would need to be taken care of and make it out to seem as if Biden has all the answers to these problems which no one really does. Fox comes out and states how Trump does understand the dangers of COVID-19 but at the same time how we need to have these small business remain open. If these small businesses were to be closed until further notice, there wouldn't be a chance to recover, there would be bills to pay but no access to the money to pay for it. There is a lot of back and forth between these two news stations and it has yet to slow down.

If we take a look further into what these candidates have to say and how the news try's to portray their words back at the viewers. One of the big things and my final point to make is the first night of the election, the candidates had a few final words to say to end of the day. This information comes from Fox News around 12:10 Central Time from when I was watching. They switch over to Biden with his rather nice looking setup with two huge screen on both sides, speakers around a whole parking lot looking area where he was speaking, along with a lot of people gathered around to listen. Biden talks positively on his outlook of the election, Fox would say too confidently and kinda fishy about it. Possibly implying something is rigged. After Biden’s display of confidence, Trump then announces he will be speaking tonight as well. Again I was watching Fox. Trump opens with confidence right from the start, saying “it looks to me like we already won this thing.” A bit cocky As trump normally makes his claims, he also said this election is a fraud and even through this cheating he will pull through. I now went back to see what CNN’s take on this was. They said Trump has taken this too far and is already planning on getting his lawyers involved. At this point I was too tired and had went to sleep, but when I woke up and checked my phone is was blown up. Fox News’s suspicions have risen along with the rest of the republican party. over night when all of America was asleep something happened that was abnormal. an increasing amount votes went up in Biden's name and not even a single one went to Trump.

This is just a few things I have gathered from the first night alone. This has been going on for a few more days and both ends of the news, democratic, and republican stations with continue to verbally clash with one another and defend their candidates of choice. Only time will tell if news bias will ever stop but i can tell all of you right now it is no time soon and far into the future.
