Today, in my news and media class, our teacher shared two "news" clips with us. In my opinion, neither of these videos are news because of how informal the discussions were and how hard it was to follow. The issue being discussed was on the Voting Rights 5-4 SCOTUS, but I wasn't able to learn very much about the issue from watching these. In the first video, from "The Daily Show", it was very hard to follow and the reporter's opinions were obvious to the viewer. He added in unnecessary details and used descriptions that are not necessarily true to the public. He was bias and cracked way too many jokes, although they were humorous. In the second video, from "Fox News", it began in a more serious-manner and he did tell more facts than jokes. Towards the end of the story, it felt as if the facts that had been previously shared with me disappeared and the argument's the reporters had were distracting and the multiple perspectives shown were confusing to anyone who watches this. All in all, I felt as if neither source was news and that they were not very informative.
