"I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI,"

These two articles are about the same event yet the authors chose to write about completely different parts of the event. James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, testified before Congress in May that Mr. Trump had asked him to drop the inquiry into Mr. Flynn one day after Mr. Trump had fired Mr. Flynn. Mr. Comey declined to do so, and the president fired him several months later. Flynn pleaded guilty Friday to lying to the FBI about conversations he had with Russia's ambassador to the US during the transition and disclosed that he is cooperating with the special counsel Robert Mueller's office.Pressed about whether the tweet signaled Trump knew Flynn had lied to the FBI before firing him, Dowd rejected the assessment.
"At the time of the firing no one including Justice had accused Flynn of lying," Dowd told CNN. "Yates had reported he told the (agents) the same things he told VP. He was not accused of lying until last week.""We weren't the only ones that knew all of this, that the Russians also knew about what General Flynn had done and the Russians also knew that General Flynn had misled the vice president and others," Yates said, relating the contents of her conversation with McGahn. Both authors tackled Trump's lying about knowing Flynn was lying or not and how they remained silent yet both of them decided to go on different routes after explaining the situation to the reader. One went more on how Trump had said that Comey was just creating more fake news and the other went on how Trump also blamed the "Crooked" Hilary for the situation with Comey and Flynn. Even the way that they decided to state the event was different even though both NYTimes and CNN are mostly liberal sources of information and share common ideologies. Their use of language I think gives the reader a different point of view of the shared ideas, even though in the end I think the reader will end up with the same ideas they at first have a different idea from other readers because of the way each author wrote their article. The article by CNN writers Maegan Vazquez, Gloria Borger and Jeremy Diamond to me seemed to take more of a side that the New York Times article but it also seemed to me to be more persuasive in making people agree with their statements about Trump and the way he handled the situation. The New York Times writer Michael D. Shear
sound appealing to people who hate Trump and people who like Trump.
