I find this hilarious. CNN has a single lead story with a photo of the shooter and one other article with just a type-written headline buried amongst the other news.

Fox News has over 20 stories - Twenty! - each with a color photo and a bold headline.

Are you talking about their websites? I’m seeing exactly the opposite.

I’m seeing lots of coverage on CNN and they are not shying away from posting the picture of Trump pumping his fist in defiance under the American flag. That by the way is great shot for the Trump campaign, so no I’m not seeing a bias agaisnt Trump on this one.
