Wisconsin Teen Shot, What CNN, CBS, and NBC say

In my analysis of three different new sources, I used CBS, CNN, and NBC news networks and compare the differences in reporting and attitudes of the story of the death of Tony Robinson in Madison, Wisconsin.  First, CNN reported this story on March 7, 2015 at 9:28 pm.  There are some major differences in the reporting from CNN as compared to the other two.  One of these differences is that the reporter called the teen shot, Tony Robinson, is called an African American instead of black which both NBC and CBS called him, which could be to draw more attention to the race of Robinson.  Also CNN compared to the other two, provided analysts to discuss this situation and the implication such as the Wisconsin state police officers will not be involved and the protests occurring as well.  On the NBC and CBS news networks compared the death of Tony Robinson to the actions that occurred in Ferguson, saying that this can provide more political and social movements for black in the US.  NBC, 3/8/2015 at 1:58pm, reported that the officer that shot Tony Robinson forced his way into the apartment or home where Robinson was shot and killed, which none of the other sources reported the officer “forced” into the home.  Lastly, CBS reported on 3/7/2015 at 8:15am, showed a different perspective then the other two, the beginning showed and told a story of a community and group of people coming together after a tragedy rather discussing grief but unity.  Also CBS discussed that that Robinson had a previous police record that included armed robbery, showing that Robinson was not as innocent as previously thought.  All these networks report differently than the other because they try to appeal to the target audience and due to political agendas of these networks as well.
