1. Stories/Events: House Republicans Question Ex-Twitter Exec’s Stories That Suppressed Hunter Biden’s Laptop, House Oversight Committee Members Hear Wednesday About The Platform’s Suppression of The New York Post in October 2020 Reports on Hunter Biden's laptop questioned former Twitter exec.
2. All contained facts: The hearing discusses how Twitter prevented the New York Post from sharing a story on Hunter Biden's laptop ahead of the 2020 election. And all three reports mentioned Republican criticism of the matter.
3. Does one include facts that the others do not: Yes, there are some facts that are not mentioned in the other three reports. for example
Fox (right) mentioned that several members of the House Oversight Committee, especially Republican Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.), stood firm on the questioning of the representatives who appeared in court on Wednesday and warned the former high-level Twitter tube, said he would be arrested. Higgins accused the FBI of using its relationship with Twitter to suppress criminal evidence against Joe Biden a month before the 2020 election.
Reuter (center) mentioned that the Democrats believed that the Republicans intimidated witnesses, that the Republicans believed it was a means by the Democrats for the election, that the White House statement was a political gimmick, and that Twitter staff testified that it had nothing to do with the government
CNN (left) Democrats believe Republicans "incited" whip-up scandal to meddle in the election
4. Reason:
a. The subject matter of each report is the same. Although the date is the same day, the time of release is different. It is possible that the information learned at different time points is different, or the news appears to turn around after other news releases/
Fox2/8 7:41 Reuters2/8 6:06 CNN 2/8 4:30
b. uses language techniques, exaggeration, and irony. Or other methods, such as omitting the different parties in each report, guessing that each report will have its own view on the event, and people tend to speak to the party they trust, so the chapters of the report will also stand aside to speak and guide public opinion. Therefore, I will use exaggerated techniques in the language of the report, and even omit the omission remarks that are not good for my opinion.
5. The choice of word language, and whether there is some language to support a certain point of view, examples of prejudice
CNN (left): Supporting views: Emphasize that Twitter’s behavior is wrong and has nothing to do with the government. The remarks of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party are biased towards the Democratic Party.
1 “Twitter execs acknowledge mistakes with Hunter Biden laptop story but say no government involvement”
The headline emphasizes that this is Twitter's fault and that there is no government involvement
2 “Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the committee, said in his opening statement that Republicans were trying to “whip up” a scandal involving a private company rather than focusing on issues that matter to voters.”
"Whip up" uses exaggerated words to emphasize that the Democratic Party believes that this is the Republican Party inciting corporate conflicts to engage in politics
3 “Twitter justified its decisions at the time by saying the article contained personally identifiable information and hacked materials – and that it’s against Twitter rules to spread that material on the platform.”
Emphasize again that Twitter’s own behavior is considered to be a hack, so it is suppressed
Reuter (center) Supporting views: Emphasize that Twitter is wrong, has nothing to do with the government, mentions the White House, Republicans, and Democrats
1 "Former Twitter execs tell Republicans they erred on Hunter Biden laptop story"
The "Erred on" headline emphasizes that it was an error
2 'bizarre political stunt'
Sarcasm, which the White House mentions as a political ploy to deny Biden an election victory over Trump
3 Democrats accused Republicans of pursuing a politically motivated fishing expedition against Biden and raised concerns about witness intimidation after a Republican lawmaker warned the former executives that they would be held accountable for activities she deemed "highly illegal."
Exaggerated language, stand up to what Democrats see as Republicans' intimidation of witnesses
Fox (right) supports the view: Twitter joins forces with the government to interfere in the election, favoring the Republican Party
1House representative warns Twitter execs they could go to jail; FBI responds to allegations of censorship
Exaggerated language, the title mentions "jail" to attract the attention of the audience
2Higgins accused the FBI of using its relationship with Twitter to suppress criminal evidence against Joe Biden, a month before the 2020 election.
"You, ladies and gentlemen, interfered with the United States of America 2020 presidential election, knowingly and willingly," Higgins said. "That's the bad news, it's gonna get worse because this is the investigation part. Later comes the arrest part. Your attorneys are familiar with that."
Emphasize the remarks of the Republicans, believing that Twitter interfered in the election "intentionally and voluntarily" intervened in the 2020 election, standing on the view that government agencies did cooperate with Twitter to interfere in the election.
6. Summary: For these three reports, Reuter (center) and CNN (left) all mentioned that the facts surrounding the hearing were the remarks of Twitter employees, but Fox (right) did not mention the remarks of Twitter employees Speech, but to emphasize the accusations of the Republican faction, in obvious bias. But in the end, the reports of all three of them were biased towards disputes between political parties, nothing more than two political parties accusing each other. And Twitter is just a cover-up for the confrontation between the two parties thrown to the public.
