One Obama Event – Two Very Different Stories
January 23, 2009 by Alfredo Deambrosi
I can’t remember ever seeing two news stories that cover one event so differently.
One story from CBS News portrays Obama as a friendly visitor, joking with reporters, having fun, interested in making relationships.
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/01/22/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry4748255.shtml
It is called, “Obama Pays Friendly Visit to White House Reporters.”
Another story from Politico, a site that I often suspect leans to the left, actually portrays Obama as prickly, almost short-tempered.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/17831.html
It is called, “Obama flashes irritation in press room.”
The first perhaps better represents the whole event. The second perhaps better highlights an incident that got more attention. So which article more faithfully reports the news?
