So, I saw several headlines pop up today related to the interview Feinstein gave to some kids. It was a miserable interview and she looked like a pedantic, look down my nose at kids, moment. Definitely a bad moment for her, and she deserves all of the media body slams she gets.
But then I started to read the headlines, and found myself reacting to the spin given by different media outlets. So here is a little experiment. I'm going to put a list of headlines below. I'd be curious if you can associate the media outlet with the correct headline without looking them up. I'm finding myself wonder if my reaction is due to a pre-existing bias about how media organizations "spin" their stories, or if the spin is actually real. The media outlets are USA Today, MSNBC, The Guardian, Fox News, CNN (2 of them), NYT, and CBS.
So are these headlines substantively different? Can you pick out the far left (CNN, MSNBC) from the far right (Fox News)?
I'm curious to know. No fair peeking!
