.....Mainstream V. Conservative media.

9/14-9/18 .
Mainstream media:

Monday - President's address to Wall street.

Tuesday - Health Reform

Wednesday - Baucus Plan/Annie Le murder

Thursday - Lab tech arrest in le's murder/Insurance malpractice/Medal of honor for fallen American Hero (you all need to check that inspiring/heroic story of Sgt. Jared Monti)

Friday - falsely accused rape victims treatment/ Swine flu vaccination/Yale suspect


Conservative media:
Monday - Acorn

Tuesday - White student beaten up on school bus/black congressman invokes kkk on Joe Wilson debate

Wednesday - Jimmy Carter claims racist tone against Obama.

Thursday - Obama's concession to Russia on missile defense/More Acorn/Iran's capability to make nuclear weapon

Friday - Michele's Healthcare pitch to Woman/Gadaffi,Ahmadinejad and Chavez visit to NY for UN conference

There is a stark difference in stories prioritized by the Conservative or the mainstream media. The conservative media put more emphasis on polarizing issues such as race, patriotism and foreign governments that are "un-American" but the mainstream media put most of their emphasis on domestic issues, mostly issues that directly affect the American people. Although the mainstream media may seem more boring, they are more objective in their news coverage. The conservative media is very passionate about their coverage....mainstream seems unorganized because they take on too many news stories at the same time.

Referenced media - Fox, Cnn, Abc, Cbs, Drudgereport, Politico and Huffingtonpost.
