The article “How did the different networks handle Trump’s comments during NFL Sunday?” by Richard Deitsch shows a great job of showing each news report point of view. It showed tons of information about the players reactions and also the news reporter's reaction too.

Internet provides vast, new opportunities for the distribution and reception of news. I had spent the past two weeks, Feb. 13- Feb. 28, observing the front-pages of CNN and Fox News online. Because both are such powerful news networks, I focused a lot of my attention on the top-featured stories displayed on both webpages, and if stories were featured on both, how did each news network portray it.
