1.the purpose is to help the viewer to understand it better.
2.they both talk about the health care and why it is important.
3.but will not guarantee embracing them or asking Democrats to insert them in the evolving health care legislation, summit makes an argument against televising hearings. Another said it will reinforce doubts about whether Washington can resolve the health care impasse.
1)The purpose of the Health Care Summit was to help viewers, both for and against the bill, understand the bill
2) Compare Explain it
Contrast CNN gave different views of different people
3) Only the impaired and unemployed would have saw the Summit the first time, (CNN)
1) It will open the door to reconciliation.
2) CNN gave different views of different people and they both said the same thing.
3) I agree with this..."big PR stunt" where "nothing is going to be decided."
To argue against televising hearings. To reinforce doubts about whether Washington can resolve the health care impasse.
They both want to find common ground. Fox talks about settling for a scaled-down and far less expensive version of health care reform and cnn talks about heated partisan exchanges and in-depth policy discussions at the bipartisan health care summit.
I agree with fox how they want to settle for a less expensive version of health care.
1.) For Obama to contemplate the GOP ideas. So that a compromise can be made also.
2.) Fox news is basing it on the president. Cnn is basing it on whats it being said on both sides. They both are basically saying both sides and what the president had to say.
3.) With the president and top congressional Democrats signaling they will move forward with the sweeping health care overhaul regardless of GOP opposition from fox. I agree that they should move forward. From cnn Dan Friedman, who covers the Senate for National Journal's CongressDaily, noted that if Democrats and Republicans couldn't find compromise in months of debate, "they aren't going to find it in a few hours in front of cameras. I agree with Friedman on this point.
1 THEY ARE TRYING TO COME UP WITH A IDEA THAT WILL HELP THE DEBT OF THE CUSTOMERS AND MAKE HEALTH CARE CHEAPER AND BETTER.
2 CNN SAYS EXHANGES PRICES OF THE PEOPLES CURRENT HEALTH CARE AND FOXNEWS SAYS THAT OBAMA ORDERED A PLAN THAT WOULD COVER ABOUT 15 MILLION PEOPLE FOR 1/4 OF THE COST OF THEIR CURRENT PLANS.
3 I AGREE WITH CNN THAT THE PRICES SHOULD BE EXCHANGE. I DISAGREE WITH FOXNEWS THAT THAT WOULD NOT BE GOOD IF THEY REALLY PULL THROUGH WITH THE DEAL
1. To help people understand the health care bill better.
2. There both talking about Obamma and health care
3. I agree that health care shouldn't be so expensive
The purpose is to help us understand it better.
CNN gave different views about it but they both basically said the same thing.
I agress with how fox wants to make it less expensive.
