One topic that I found very interesting right now is that Senator Cruz stopped his presidential campaign and told his supporters that he was dropping out of the race for good. This of course, is due to the substantial amount of delegates that Trump won by in the Indiana polls. Once Sen. Cruz found out about the great divide in the results between the two of them, he realized that he no longer had a chance. I compared the two sources Fox News and CNN to see if they discussed the same concepts or went on completely different paths of the topic being discussed. I was able to tell the difference within the two articles in the first few paragraphs.

In the Fox News article, it didn't go into much detail about Cruz's suspension and how it will affect him in the future, or if there was any mistake in his actions. Instead, the rest of the article is pretty much discussing the different reasons for why Trump has all of the delegates and how Cruz's drop-out will affect him and his race for presidency. It also focused more on the bickering thrown back and forth between Cruz and Trump before the polls were taken instead of discussing more details about Cruz's absence in the rest of the race. Finally, the article didn't limit itself to the departure of Cruz, it included the connections of the surprising poll results for the Democratic Party in Indiana, which had Bernie in the lead. Overall, this article isn't actually giving readers the information that they want to see when they look at the title.

In the CNN article, it seemed to be much more informative on the actual situation of Cruz dropping out of the race than that of the information in the Fox article. It did blame Cruz's fallout pretty much onto Cruz, which is really accurate for what's been going on right now with the jumbled-up alliances and unawareness for some modern situations. It also used a lot of negatively connoted words to convey that it was all Cruz's fault and he had it coming, which I do agree with for the most part.

Overall, comparing these two articles really showed me that people can have completely different takes on the same story depending on their sources, opinions, and outside knowledge or experience. It shows me how much a few changes in wording can effect the emotion of the entire paper or article being written.
