Cronies Going Cro-Nuts!

I recently read both an article from CNN as well as from Fox News covering Sarah Palin and her thoughts on Trump's new Carrier deal. Both go over the facts that Sarah has been an early Trump supporter, is being considered to serve in his cabinet, and that she believes that the deal he is making with Carrier is, "Crony Capitalism." Crony Capitalism is "an economy in which success in business depends on close relationships between business people and government officials. It may be exhibited by favoritism in the distribution of legal permits, government grants, special tax breaks, or other forms of state interventionism." She also goes onto say, "Republicans oppose this, remember? Instead, we support competition on a level playing field, remember?" While both articles get the same point across, that Sarah does not approve of the Carrier deal, they are written differently. Why would that be? To appeal to different demographics.

With CNN, the article is mostly made up of quotes from Palin giving full insight into the situation. But with Fox News, there are less quotes and more writing by the author. While Trump is doing this and is being back by his supporters, Obama once did this and was repeatedly criticized for doing this sort of stuff for green energy and putting regulations on coal energy. They follow this explanation of Obama with a quote of Sarah's that talks about how Republicans are against what Trump is doing, but puts no context so it seems it is talking about Obama's actions. This is to reinforce the thoughts that Obama is "bad." And at the end, they mention the Army which has no connection to the article. 

Also, Fox has a huge comments section allowing for people to band together against Obama and for Trump. Which just pits people against each other.
