When comparing the rhetoric and images used by Fox News and ABC news on their front pages, it is clear that large differences exist. For example, this headline by ABC reads "Charlottesville car rammer sentenced to life in prison" In contrast to this, the Fox headline says: Neo-Nazi in Charlottesville car attack sentenced for murder" The ABC article shows the person that committed these crimes standing near the protest. The Fox article shows the mugshot of the same man. While both headlines show the facts of the story, the Fox headline and imagery suggest that the reader should respond more negatively to this Neo nazi while the ABC headline is much more monotone. The Fox headline makes it clear that this is a bad person while ABC's headline doesn't fully explain the gravity of the crimes committed.
