Compare FoxNews's story on the Paris mayoral stabber to the CNN story on the stabbing.

Focus primarily on the published descriptions of the alleged knifer.

If you can't see the difference between the two then on each page, hit Control-F and search for the keyword Muslim. Then tell me which seems to be a bit more accurate in reporting :)

Another difference: CNN brings up a couple of unrelated shootings.

Hey Xrp actually Fox News has better news gathering sources they got all Brit papers thanks to Aussie mogul Rupert Murdoch also they get breaking story perhaps from Sky News

So CNN can't compete

CNN doesn't mind saying that he is "openly gay" or a socialist but they can't bring themselves to say he is a "muslim". I think that pretty much sums up their entire approach to reporting any news story. BTW, is that dreadful Amanpour woman a muslim ?

I find it amusing that the most significant innovations to come out of his time as mayor is that he is known for splashy gestures such as turning the banks of the Seine River into a beach, replete with sand, palm trees and parasols, and organizing a city-wide, all-night party. FOFLOL. For centuries the river has run right though the middle of Paris. It has long been known as one of the world's most beautiful cities but I'll betcha no one ever thought it needed a beach with parasols until they elected an "openly gay" mayor.

Why CNN sucks.

OMG. There's not enough room on the internet to list all the reasons.

Are we talking about the same CNN that reported Janet Reno's victory in the Florida gubernatorial primary right up until the time it became clear she wasn't going to win? I think they got it from the same folks who told them that Gore won Florida in 2000.

Best let's-not-be-judgemental news reporting of the week:
Lester Holt of MSNBC (I don't watch but I was in a restaurant and had no choice): "Alleged shoe-bomber Richard Reid confessed today to attempting to blow up a commercial aircraft and was sentenced..."

Alleged? The guy confesses, is convicted and sentenced and, at MSNBC, he's still "alleged"???
