Fox News Vs. CNN - The Truth of Partisan Media Pt.1

I've wanted to do this for a long time. Every time that Fox News reports something positive about the Iraq War or the Bush administration, or something negative about the Democratic party, CNN makes sure that it isn't reported so as to prove that they aren't actually as fair and balanced as Fox is. To prove this I'm going to keep a time line of lead stories from Fox News supporting conservative principles and see if CNN even touches the story. Then I'm going to show stories from Fox News that support liberal agendas and see how many times CNN reports on those.

Today's stories 03/22/07:

Fox: Test of Wills - White House Subpoena Showdown Goes to Senate
- Quoting Dick Morris, "The phoniest scandal of the century (so far)" (1 Point for Fox)

CNN is also reporting on this story as: 16-day gap found in attorney firings

Fox: U.S. Nabs Kidnap Killers of GIs
- This story is a good news story out of Iraq where top terrorist leaders have been captured

CNN: Man tied to al-Sadr held in sneak attack on U.S. troops
- Surprisingly enough CNN reports on this capture, although they probably were drawn to it more because it involves American soldier deaths(1 Point)

Score so far: Fox 1 CNN 1
