In a brief essay, explain what kind of bias Fox News and CNN have in common that led to the misreporting of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2012 decision about the Affordable Care Act (or Obamacare).
What will be an ideal response?
The example should explain that both networks, despite their differing political orientations, want to make a profit by drawing the largest possible audience. Among the ways networks do this is by trying to report a story first. Unfortunately, both CNN and Fox neglected to read far enough into the court’s ruling before they decided what the decision said. Correct reporting of the case came from the slower, but more careful, SCOTUSblog.
