Directions
Go to the Politics section of the New York Times (Links to an external site.). Choose a current policy-related issue that involves actions made by the Trump Administration, then find media coverage of the same issue by both MSNBC (Links to an external site.) and FOX News (Links to an external site.). Read all three articles and then write a 250-300 word reflection post that identifies what all three articles had in common and how they were different from each other. Which version of the story do you find most trustworthy and why? Do any of the articles seem to be biased? If so, why?
