Foreign and Domestic News Outlets

Truthfully, I do not watch the news much at all nor do a go on websites to view the news. However, by looking at the websites from the links that were in the question I can see a few differences between the foreign media outlets (that were provided) and the United States media outlets that were provided. The United States media outlets seem to talk more about and have more information about celebrities. I really do not know many celebrities from foreign countries, but I did not see many if not any mentioned on those to websites provided in the question. The fact that celebrities are included in the news outlets may be saying something about the traits the Americans have. Someone may be able to conclude from this that Americans really care about what celebrities are doing. This could mean that Americans are very nosy people. This could also go back to the discussion that we had on the first day of class about how celebrities are some of the main reasons why people may think that something is cool or hip. This is because Americans pay close attention to what celebrities do and wear. That is one my observations from these foreign and domestic news sites.
I really can not tell if these websites are politically biased or not. However, it seems as though every time I catch by father watching the news on the television, (he usually watches Fox), there is some sort of bias. For example, it seems as though they are always saying something bad about Obama. An example of this is when they kept going on and on about his pastor and how they did not like the things that his pastor was saying. In my opinion, the news reporters should not have put him down because of what his pastor said. I did not just see this on Fox news, but I saw it on other news stations that my father was watching as well. This is just one example of how I think that American news is bias and politically bias against Obama.
There really is not a noticeable difference between the style of the layouts of the United States news websites and the foreign news websites. They each have their own style, but they are not distinguished enough to really spot a difference between the two. One of the similarities that I noticed is that all of them talk about the Olympics in some way. This should be expected considering that the Olympics is a world event and all of the countries from these news websites are competing in the Olympics. One of the differences that I noticed between the two United States websites and the Corriere della Sera is that the Corriere della Sera really does not talk about the upcoming United States presidential campaign. Well, at least I did not notice it on the main page of its website. It is kind of weird that the BBC does talk about the upcoming election, but the Corriere della Sera does not talk about it. Maybe this is because the BBC is a more well known and popular website than the Corriere della Sera. Those are a few of the differences that I noticed between the American news outlets and the (two) foreign news websites.
