Takeaway:
I realized how media outlets are becoming increasingly opinionated, and that news outlets have a main goal of gaining a larger audience, and will frame their news stories to reach that goal. The only way to develop a complete understanding of stories told in the media is to look at many different media outlets. Our job, as citizens, is to understand these political issues, and vote on them accordingly, in what is supposed to be a democratic society.
