The first site that I looked at was foxnews.com. This news site I felt was more based on celebrity news and entertainment rather than politics, government related, or violence and crime. Although the site does contain some of those topics, the site definitely seems more geared towards a younger audience and puts the entertainment and celebrity news above the more "important" news stories. On the site, quite close to the top there is a section on the "seen and heard" of celebrities, Maxims hot 100, Man made bikini bodies, and more on beauty of celebrity lives. If you look further on the website, there is news on President Barack Obama, further into politics, other world news, health, and sports.
The second news site that I looked at was www.msnbc.msn.com. This news site was less biased towards celebrity gossip and entertainment. On the site there is a wide variety of news topics, anything from politics to health and beauty to travel news. MSNBC news site I would say is more geared towards an avid news reader, rather than just focusing on what young people might want to read, they offer diverse news topics, both breaking news stories, and also important topics that have been surfacing in the news for weeks now, such as the swine flu.
If I were to commit to an online news site, I would read MSNBC because of the validity of the different types of stories. I think that news sites are supposed to cover everything going on in our society, rather than just the "poplar" news topics.
