Obama Nobel Prize: Media coverage

I think everyone (except the Nobel Prize Committee) was left scratching their heads with this morning's announcement of Obama getting the Nobel Peace prize. However one might feel about the new president, we can probably all agree that it seems a little premature...

I wondered how Fox News would handle this compared to say, CNN. While the story's headline is "fair and balanced", there's some hefty editorializing in their choice and juxtaposition of headlines. There's a point of view in design and layout choices...


FOX NEWS (around 11 am ET):


FOX NEWS (around 11:15 am ET):
It starts getting worse... In-office-president-gets-Nobel-Peace-Prize not that much of a big story after all and gets relegated. Fox News to world: Our business is war not peace...

Obama Gets Nobel Peace Prize >>> Doomsday




And just for comparison:

CNN (around 11 ET):


MSNBC (around 11
ET):
