Drudge Report, CNN, MSNBC: Comparing and Contrasting Agenda and Style

Comparing and contrasting the Drudge Report, CNN, and MSNBC it is easy to see the differences between each websites agenda or "news judgement" and their overall style. CNN and MSNBC shared a main headline, as of today, concerning Obama and the release of detainee photos from prisoners in Iraq and in Afghanistan. However on the Drudge Report I could not find any article referring to this supposed "top story" as on CNN and MSNBC. Although all of these sites had reporting on the Hubble space telescope and the recent Craigslist fiasco with 'erotic service' advertisements it seems that MSNBC and CNN seem to outline more news with a democratic twist as the Drudge seemed more along a conservative line of thought. When addressing whether these sites were fair and balanced in their news it was fairly easy to see that each one was biased in some way or another. It is hard to find any news material that is truly neutral in its stance, but MSNBC seemed to have a wider variety of news that was not as objectively chosen as the other two websites. Personally I enjoy reading the Drudge Report as it is laid out so that that I have easy access to every story on one page and I don't have to scroll very far to get new information. Convenience is nice when I am trying to look for new information and the Drudge Report compared to CNN and MSNBC is less technical and not as flashy. Overall these websites are also quite similar in that they would most likely post very important news, but are also selective when it comes to what makes the top stories as well as the headlines to those stories.
