Obama

On November 17, President Barack Obama met withe president of China, Hu Jintao. The meeting was not widely advertised in the country of China, yet of course it was very well documented in the United States. Numerous news outlets covered these events and talked about what was discussed during these meetings. It ranged from nuclear weapons to internet censorship with much other topics in between.

The articles that I chose to discuss come from MSNBC.com, the LAtimes.com, and foxnews.com. Each took different views and presented the the meeting between President Obama and President Hu Jintao. The MSNBC article simply stated what happened in China and what the two presidents talks about. There was not much opinion in this article. It highlighted both the negative and positives of the meeting between these two high powered men. It also talked about Obama's time in China and what it means to the people of the United States.

The LA Times article and the Fox News article seemed to be much more biased. Both did not display President Obama's time in China in a positive light. They wrote that his meeting with Hu Jintao simply served to illustrate the tensions between the two powerful nations. Obviously both journalists wanted to highlight the pointlessness of the trip. Both felt that it accomplished nothing but to show the differences between the nations.

The MSNBC article was my favorite because it was so much less biased than the other two.
