Tripping over Common Ground

MSNBC and Fox News.  Polar opposites, right?  Well, on Monday evening, MSNBC and Fox News found something they could agree on: the importance of Bristol Palin giving birth.

The lead US news headline on the MSNBC website Monday evening was, “It’s a Baby Boy for Palin’s Teenage Daughter.”  This was the most newsworthy event in the entire country Monday.

However, let’s not give MSNBC too much credit.   After all MSNBC did inexplicably omit the baby’s name from its front page.

 

FoxNews 

Fox News, on the other hand, continues to set the standard.  There it is right on the front page: Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston.
