Same Story, Different Approach

This weekend I followed the Story of the conflict and issues with former Vice president Dick Cheney and current Vice president Joe Biden. I followed the stories in the NEW YORK POST, DAILY NEWS, and FOXNEWs.com. The main point of this story is Cheney and Biden going back and forth over how Obama is handling the current situation with al Queda and Iraq, Biden is voicing his opinion on the fact that " dick cheney is trying to rewrite history, or he is misinformed or misinforming". While Cheney voices his opinion on how obama should be saying thank you to Bush and his administration and how Obama isn't handling the terriost situation correctly and should be using more force in Cheneys opinion obviously. In the Daily News the cover is a split of This weeks fashion week and the Cheney and Biden dispute with a Bold title " Grumpy Old Men" and directs the readers to page 4-5, the daily news dedicates two pages to this story, they use better vocabulary and gives a more in depth story and gives a flashback of Biden previous issue against Bloomberg. The pages give huge pictures of both men , and uses bold titles with jokes to attract the readers. However in the New York post the Front page does not even advertise the Biden and Cheney story instead its Blazing with more Tiger Woods Baby mother Drama, which automatically attracts a different crowd of people, those who are more interested in Gossip and this gives a wide age range of the intended audience this attracts teenagers all the way to the elderly. However as soon as you open the paper the Cheney and Biden story is the first story in the paper, a small box with the story a quick mention of politics, doesn't seem like thats a huge topic they are trying to get across or advertise because it has such a small section, the vocabulary is pretty simple and this story is in black and white in contrast with the daily news where the biden and cheney story are in color with color photos. Lastly Fox news which most know is not the most creditable source, however gives a pretty 50/50 side of the story dedicating an even amount of time and quote from each party and there view. Then again the Fox story was aided by the AP.
