In the example given above Fox puts emphasis on the facts that are most important.
An emotional response occurs regardless of how information is presented - I doubt I understand your point.

That they aren't as moving on the other networks?

Before I address the question, can I ask one? Do you understand why you choose certain news sources over others, even in the universe of those sources you think are objective?

I guess people have different wants when it comes to the news. When I look for news, I look for reporting. Others might prefer to primarily engage their sympathies.

You use faulty logic to come to the conclusion above.
I watch Fox News for many reasons and they change based on the issue. I also watch MSNBC for many reasons. If you really want to know what motivates me, ask, engaging sympathies is rarely one. If you got lost in the example forget about it and we can get back to broad generalities with no specifics.
Ug, Fox Good.
Ug, Ug, Fox bad.
Better?
