You surely cannot have missed the Occupy Wall Street movement which has now expanded out to other U.S. cities and other countries as well. But how do different newspapers, magazines, and websites decide how to cover the story?
This video shows how various publications come up with the headlines to use alongside Occupy Wall Street stories. OK, so it doesn’t really as it’s a spoof, but it’s a very well-made one containing some truth.
Examples are The New York Times keeping things simple, Fox News blaming it on Obama, Maxim focusing on a hot girl, and my favorite which has The Huffington Post copying The New York Times with a bigger font.
This isn’t mocking the Occupy Wall Street movement but rather the way it has been portrayed in the media. It’s a reminder that while the press may be free in the U.S., it’s anything bu unbiased.
