Elena Kagans Supreme Court nomination

I found two similar editorials on the same topic. Its on the same topic which is President Obamas possible candidate for a Supreme Court Justice. One article is from Fox News which is titled Why Ultra-Liberal Obama Needs Kagan on the Court.. The other one is from the New York post and is titled The Kagan Nomination. Even though the topic of the editorial is the same and there are many similarities. There are many differences as well. For example the following.

Five Differences

-The editor from NY Post thinks Kagan is a good candidate for the Supreme Court Justice but its too soon to say. While the editor form Fox news thinks shes a good candidate for President Obama because she is a liberal and he can use that to his advantage.

-The one from NY post give a positive feel to the article and gives the facts as if agreeing with the choice and the one from Fox News is sort of neutral but still gives and opinion that its just good for Obama's benefit and a great candidate but not for the country.

- The details provided is also different. NY Post editor tells us facts of what she did and did not do in the past. Such as how she participated in government and the courtroom. Fox News gives us a background of Kagans experience. The editor talks about what school she graduated from and what her relationship is with Obama. Turns out they are good friends.

-The New York Post editor talks about the viewpoints of Kagan if she is for gay marriage and capital punishment. The editor also talks about why the Senate shouldn't rush and also judge Kagan on privacy rights,race or gender discrimination, and free speech. The Fox News editorial speaks about how she has liberal viewpoints and how she is a good candidate based on her health and age.

- Lastly, Well it is true one article is longer than the other lol na jk there are a lot more but that's all for now.
