The Murrow Standard?

These videos are both reporting on the same issue. The manner in which each case is reported, however, portrays two completely different newscasts. It is the mainly the selection of the opinions to report on each side that makes each story different. It seems that each news provider is looking to portray a different message.
The first video, from CNN, is trying to provoke sympathy for the people in Ecuador affected by the oil dumping. The newscast includes interviews with environmentalists, helpless individuals, as well as other personalities who are blaming Chevron for the damages. Even the clips included from the interview with Chevron's Silvia Garrigo portray her in a negative and deceitful light. The newscast even goes in depth to explain how the work of the Ecuadorians was able to get the case. It is clear that the information reported on this newscast was very selective.
This second newscast works to show Chevron as a victim. Chevron is claiming that they are at the end of a conspiracy. The newscast makes an effort to explain how Chevron cleaned the oil pits after they had worked there and that the Ecuadorian oil company had even cleared Chevron from further responsibility. This newscast chooses different clips from the Silvia Garrigo interview as well. It seems that the clips which showed her correctly defending Chevron as innocent victims. This newscast also included clips from scientists with deep explanations for Chevron's lack of responsibility in repairing the damages. It even goes further to show that the plaintiffs test samples were taken to a non-credible laboratory. The cast additionally offers further explanation for the contamination.
It is clear that each news cast, for whatever reason, has their own agenda. The way they were each reported does not show heavy bias but it is interesting how the selection process for the news is different in each case. It is clear that each news provider placed certain facts higher than others. The question of which story to believe lies in the issue of objectivity.
