As I compared different news outlet's analyzation of the situation on the migrant caravan on the Mexican Border, I found interesting portrayals of the situation. In the first paragraph of Migrant caravan shelter shutdown over 'bad' sanitary conditions as hundreds move to new facility by Fox News, says "Mexican authorities shut down a crowded, unsanitary and mud-filled shelter at a sports complex, moving the remaining migrants who want to enter the U.S. to a new, government-run facility" their choices of words like, "unsanitary" and "mud-filled" immediately strike us as disgusting ideas. Then they say how these people want to enter America, quickly making the viewer feel as though this is something disgusting and associates it with a negative connotation. This is in comparison to CNN's video, Cuomo reveals desperate reality in migrant camp, he says, "what is next? things can't stay this way." Immediately giving us the idea that CNN, knows that action has to be taken in helping these people achieve stability. Considering these two news outlet's political affiliations, we are able to understand their choice of words and their reasoning behind their opinionated ideas.
