Today's News June 30, 2016: National Bias Day

Today is National Bias Day! All I am doing is putting up the main headlines today:

Drudge Report:
FEC SECRET VOTE TO PUNISH FOXNEWS

which links to this story:

Washington Examiner:
Fox targeted by FEC Dems in first-ever vote to punish debate sponsorship

Fox News:
FEC Democrats voted to punish Fox News over debate changes

And on the other side...

CNN:
Turkish forces detain 22 in Ataturk Airport terror attack

MSNBC:
Turkey Arrests 13 Over Istanbul Airport Attack: State Media

NBC News:
Maryvale Shootings: Is a Serial Killer Stalking Phoenix?

Don't get me wrong. I think these are all important news stories. In choosing a "main" headline, each news editor has to make their own choice. However, I think NBC News went a little too local with their Phoenix serial killer. NBC's failure is ironic, since MSNBC linked to NBC's story about the Istanbul attack.

But the better question: How did each side do with the other side's main story? (I am ignoring the NBC Phoenix serial killer story for this consideration.)

On the Right, Drudge did include links to stories about the Istanbul attack, and Fox News did cover it right below their main headline.

The Washington Examiner gets a big fail on this one, as they covered how the White House responded differently to the Istanbul attack, versus how they responded to other attacks in Europe. As the Examiner did that, they failed to cover the aftermath of the attacks today.

On the Left, if they covered the FEC story at all, it is so buried in their websites, I can't find it.

Just a thought, but if the FEC was punishing Hillary Clinton unfairly, do you think the Leftist Media would be reporting on Istanbul today?
