News and animal farm connection





There are many news channel networks, but many tell the same story but with different views or information. Furthermore, Fox news and CNN both shared a report on a family going head on with a semi-truck and all of them dying except for one girl. As the story goes on i found out that the girl who survived wasn't a u.s. citizen, and on CNN they go more in depth with her and her background, but on fox news they just give the bare minimum even though they add a little more by saying eighteen more people were injured. Moreover, based on there was insignificant citizen incorporation from both CNN and Fox news. On CNN they bring the girl's pastor on and he talks about things irrelevant to the crash, but he backs her up on why she shouldn't be deported. Furthermore, on Fox News they bring on an investigation officer, Larry Bedore who only says "The vehicle was crushed between multiple vehicles”.  Based on the incorporation of citizens they lack on giving information that deals with the real problem which is the accident, not irrelevant things. Even though they're both lacking information, the two news networks are different. CNN, which is our nation's news gave more detailed descriptions and incorporated more citizens, but on the other hand Fox News gives you the bare minimum and only enough for you to know what happened and not to really understand. I feel that the truth is being presented on both networks, even though fox doesn't fluently describe what happens. In addition, the set of the news has a lot to do with which station you watch because i know for me i like watching news networks that have anchors on the site of the event rather than sitting at a desk. It lets you (the audience) see how things look in that area rather than only hearing about how it looks. 
Furthermore, in correlation to animal farm, the way squealer presents the news to the animals and to other is either a lie or not the full news on what happened. Squealer always gives the animals the bare minimum or he lies. For example, he lied about the food supply by saying that the farm wasn't running short of food when really they barely had enough for another 2 days. Moreover, in relation to our society and news networks, they give us the truth just from different point of views because of various witnesses, rather than knowing what happened or is happening and lying about what actually happened or not telling the most important parts.
