I found this to be interesting. In the three news networks they in my opinion describe the same story very differently. The CNN article describes gates as saying afghanistan is a slow and tough progress, giving off the impression that the war was not goin as sweet as most would hope for. Whereas the msnbc article states no doubts in afghan war strategy, giving a sense of no problem and smooth sailing feeling so to speak. Fox news just said briefing on afghanistan as if no biased opinion. These were the titles of all three articles. As you can see each news agency is approaching at a different angle. It was quite obvious that all three news agencies covered different material when covering this story. Each agency came at a different angle and highlighted different things. Like the CNN talked more about Obama and military relations whereas the msnbc talked more about the Obama administartion as a whole. The fox news gave more of general facts like using quotes more often and truth and not opinionated in my opinion. This story should be considered important because it does entail our govenrments belief in the war. Considering we have been in this war for 10 year now and its our longest war in U.S. history it all should be relevant in my opinion. But people like always wont care unless it involves them directly in my opinion.
It's interesting to see how three different news sources have different ideas about the war in Afghanistan considering they are all US sources. Our government's belief in the war and their approach to it has been questioned by our country since day one and after all this time has passed, it is weird to see all the changes in opinions.
