Battle of the News Feeds I: Fox Vs CNN

     As you all may be aware, Twitter is one the most popular ways that many people get their news. I personally don't see why as the platform seems fairly limited in its' capabilities. Unfortunately, as I've learned throughout the years, my opinion doesn't mean anything. Nevertheless, I have decided to venture forth and sail the vast ocean of the Twitter hellscape to find how different, opposing forces in news present themselves to the masses.

  

     In round 1, we are taking a look at Fox and CNN news corporations on Twitter. Right off the bat the way they present themselves in their description is quite different from one another.

"Follow America's #1 cable news network, delivering you breaking news, insightful analysis, and must-see videos." (Fox News)

"It’s our job to #GoThere & tell the most difficult stories. Join us! For more breaking news updates follow @CNNBRK & Download our app *" (CNN)

     As we can see, Fox likes to brag about how popular they are whereas CNN takes a more subtle approach and makes it clear that they exist to bring you the news. CNN, however, is pushing their application.

  

     If we take a look at their latest tweets, we can see that Fox News is covering immigration whereas CNN is covering the royal family and some boxer; CNN comes off as kind of shallow in my opinion. To be fair, the last tweet from Fox was in 2018.
