9/19/13 NY times vs. Boston Herald

Both the New York Times ad the Boston Herald are renowned newspapers. Each of these newspapers tend to lean a certain way when presenting the news, The new york times is known as a liberal paper and the Boston herald is considered republican. I read both newspapers on the topic of gun control and analyzed the similarities and differences. Both the new york times and the Herald would present the facts in an unbiased way. For example both sites explained how the senate voted against gun control. The differences between the two sites came in the information which they presented after. For instance, the herald quoted an Iowa republican senator saying, "Expanded background checks would not have prevented Newtown. Criminals do not submit to background checks." This was the basis of heir argument for the rest of the article explaining how background checks would not stop mass shootings from happening which is an opinion of may conservatives in America. In the New York Times the article identifies the Democratic Senators who voted against the background checks and went against the democratic parties beliefs. They then interviewed them asking their thought process of why they wouldn't pass the restrictions in an accusational manor, trying to defend the liberal views.
