I read an article about President Obama’s budget cuts and I found that the article seemed to work in his favor. They didn’t note anything bad about his cuts and that it is the rich of the country that are causing all of the problems. The article didn’t read like something from Truthout.org or blatantly say that something was wrong, but its word choice such as when it stated that republicans “Lambasted” the president. I found that the Aljazeera website was more liberal. This makes sense because the “conservative” Bush administration began the invasion on the Middle East and spoke out against any network that sympathized with the terrorist. The author of the article made it seem that republicans were at fault for the debt that the U.S is currently in.

I found that the BBC has a much less bias view on the news and that may be because they have no ads and no political party to answer to. The difference between Aljazeera and networks in the US is that Aljazeera has answered to political parties in the Middle East. American Networks are often owned by someone with some sort of political ideology.
