The U.S. Economy According to FOX News

Both of these articles deal with the current economic situation in the United States. There have been rumors of a recession, and the Bush administration is currently trying to pass a stimulus package which involves a hefty tax breaks and other “solution.” The story taken from Fox News has very few hard facts. It talks about Bush’s visits to a few large companies in the U.S. as well as his optimistic outlook on the economy. The article taken from the BBC website seems much more structured. It uses more graphs, charts, figures, etc. It deals with real issues such as inflation, unemployment, and the current budget deficit in the U.S. Both articles discuss the same issues, but in very different ways. While one focuses more on Bush, the other focuses more on fact. I found them very interesting points of comparison.
