Anderson Cooper of CNN, Rachel Maddow of MSNBC, and Sean Hannity of Fox News are three of the biggest primetime anchors in media today.

Each anchor and their respective cable news network takes a unique and different angle on the news of the day during primetime programming. As a result, their audiences can come away with different perspectives on what’s happening in the US today.

Because of the role and platform that each host has, all three are able to shape and influence what viewers believe is the most important news in the world.

For a week, we watched all of their shows to compare what news each led their program off with. Here’s how the three primetime cable news anchors opened up their shows every night from September 10-14.

Monday, September 10: Anderson Cooper, CNN

YouTube

Cooper, who frequently opens his 8 p.m. ET show with his “Keeping Them Honest” segment, led off his show discussing the White House’s response to the anonymous op-ed in the New York Times and its search to find out who wrote it.

He also talked about Bob Woodward’s new book, “Fear: Trump in the White House“, and how President Donald Trump and his administration were responding to the book.

Monday, September 10: Rachel Maddow, MSNBC

Dailymotion

Maddow, who comes on the air on MSNBC at 9 p.m. ET, opened up her show discussing the developments on Hurricane Florence. She was the first of the three anchors sampled to discuss the hurricane at the top of her show, and the only one to discuss the storm at the top of the show all five nights that week.

She also talked about: the Republican attempt to set up a confirmation vote for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh later in the week, the Democrats’ attempts to delay the vote, the court proceedings surrounding Russian agent Maria Butina, the White House’s response to Woodward’s forthcoming book, former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos being sentenced to prison for 14 days, and Trump’s expected declassification of Justice Department surveillance documents.

Monday, September 10: Sean Hannity, Fox News

SnapStream

Hannity, who comes on at 9 p.m. ET on Fox News, led off his show with his well-known “Opening Monologue” discussing the Democrats’ desire to impeach Trump if they win back the House of Representatives in the midterm elections this fall.

He also addressed policies Democratic candidates would support if elected to Congress, the impact the midterm elections could have on the Trump agenda, and the alleged bias and corruption of the “deep state” in the Justice Department and FBI toward Trump.

  • Saturday marks exactly 10 years since the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the biggest bankruptcy in the history of the United States, and the defining event of the financial crisis.
  • The days after Lehman’s collapse were a frantic scramble to prevent the collapse of the whole financial system.
  • At the heart of that scramble was Henry “Hank” Paulson, the then-US Treasury Secretary.
  • An extract from Paulson’s calendar two days after Lehman’s collapse so just how hectic things were.
  • Paulson had 42 calls or meetings between 7.00 a.m. and 1.20 p.m. on September 17, 2008.

Exactly 10 years ago, Lehman Brothers collapsed into administration. It was the biggest bankruptcy in the history of the United States and the defining event of the financial crisis, which ravaged the global economy between 2007 and 2009.

Lehman’s bankruptcy sparked genuine fears in the US that the country’s entire financial system could collapse. It led to a crazy scramble by senior bankers and politicians to insulate the industry, and the wider economy, from the threat of contagion.

Fetching water may seem like an easy task when you think about just filling a jug and walking back. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, the task is not that simple, and in puzzle platformer Ayo: A Rain Tale, the developers want players to feel the harshness of that journey. Do you think you could carry a 40lb jug of water while navigating through harsh climate and the scorching sun?

Taking on the role of Ayo, players will be set out on the journey to retrieve water for their family during a drought – a task given daily, and one that must be completed to ensure survival, whether or not the journey is entirely safe to begin with. The developers want to call this issue to attention, as it is one that exists in the world to this day.

Players will have to navigate past foes, deal with the harsh terrain, and perhaps some inner demons as well. On top of the tall order of dodging these beasts, players will also have to solve puzzles in order to clear an area. For the more curious water-bearers, there are hidden paths around for you to explore and perhaps find an easier route to take.

One of the greatest draws to the game is the environment and art. Players will be able to see the environment shift from day to night – as this journey is not a fast one. You’ll be able to see creativity burst forth as the developers try to communicate the daily struggle through Ayo’s journey and her confrontation of mysterious beasts.

Ayo: A Rain Tale is available on Steam here! You can also check out their official page, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube channel!

After combing through more than 30,000 of Trump’s tweets since he began using the social media platform in 2009, Shannon Wheeler, a cartoonist for the New Yorker, Mad Magazine and the Onion, chose to illustrate 120 of them in the new book, “Sh*t My President Says: The Illustrated Tweets of Donald J. Trump.”

Wheeler says he was inspired to create the book depicting the commander in chief’s use of Twitter just after Trump took office.

“I started doodling and said these are perfect,” Wheeler told KOIN. “They’re funny, they’re tight. As tweets, they’re short and to the point.”

When he began, Wheeler said he drew Trump looking like “an ogre” and “a mean person,” but said that it was not right fit for the book.

“I was trying to draw him ‘ugly’ and it was not working, and then I was starting to feel: ‘What is inside of him?’ It is the impish child,” Wheeler told the Washington Post. “This is the [playground] kid who would be made fun of if he weren’t making fun of other people.”

After sifting through tens of thousands of Trump’s tweets, Wheeler said he found several repeating themes. In the introduction to his book, Wheeler writes that Trump uses Twitter to encourage “his fans to be themselves – not with aspiration, but indulgence.”

“Be sexist. Be racist. Be fearful. Be selfish. Hate and fear the world. Consume. Be materialistic. Drive a big car. Drive as much as you want – there’s plenty of oil in the world,” Wheeler wrote.

“Trump will be the global bully to make sure our empire, and your self-indulgence, is assured.”

Wheeler said that he was not only looking to parody Trump or make him into a caricature. He also wanted to “show how he [Trump] contradicts himself, and lead the reader to question reality.”

“By using Trump’s own words, and placing them in the context of his cartoon universe, I hope to give the reader a better chance of understanding the mind we elected,” Wheeler wrote in the introduction to the book.

After spending months pouring over Trump’s tweets, Wheeler said he has still not been able to figure one thing out: “How did we wind up with this president?”

“I keep thinkingI’ve been inoculated, but then I read something new that [hits] like an adrenaline shot to the hypothalamus,” Wheeler told the Washington Post. “As horrifying as it is for people, it’s also a sort of entertainment for [much of] the country.”

Wheeler’s book will be available in stores this Sunday. Since going on sale online this week, it has become the number one best selling comic strip on Amazon and hit the top 10 best selling books Monday.

So it goes with the argument that erupted earlier this week about Hillary (and Bill) Clinton’s use of prison labor during Bill’s period as Governor of Arkansas.

The controversy was sparked by a passage in Clinton’s 1996 book It Takes a Village, which was exhumed and posted on Twitter in the wake of Bill Maher’s “joke” about being a “house nigger.” In the passage, Clinton describes how local prison inmates were put to work at the governor’s mansion, “a longstanding tradition [that] kept costs down”:

The use of unpaid labor is, indeed, a longstanding tradition in the south. It is one that persists today because of the 13th Amendment, which provides, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States.” (Italics mine.)

These days, this convenient little exemption is used to “keep costs down” in all sorts of ways. Prison labor is used by government departments throughout the country, and also more and more in the private sector. As Mother Jones‘s Kanyakrit Vongkiatkajorn explains in an excellent piece from last year:

In 1979, Congress created a program that gives incentives to private companies to use prison labor. Currently, the federal prison industries program produces items ranging from mattresses to prescription eyewear. Some inmates are employed as call center operators (“It’s the best kept secret in outsourcing!” says the program’s website.) Last year, federal inmates helped bring in nearly $ 472 million in net sales—but only 5 percent of that revenue went to pay inmates.

This is, to put it bluntly, a fucking disgrace. The manner in which private companies and government bodies alike have been able to budget and build on the assumption that they will have free or almost-free labor available is morally reprehensible. The history of the 13th Amendment is a topic for another essay, but America’s economy prior to 1865 was based on slavery, and this amendment means that the use of captive labor is alive and well 150 years later. The whole rotten system fuels the prison industrial complex, providing a huge and ongoing motivation for this country to maintain a large prison population from which labor can be drawn.

Perhaps most egregiously, prison labor these days is often reframed as an “opportunity” for prisoners. By working for nothing, they might gain experience in a field wherein they might work for a pittance when they get out of jail! What an opportunity! Who could possibly say no? Well, no-one, as it turns out: these programs are often “voluntary,” but if your choice is between working for free in the governor’s mansion or staying in a prison where conditions are some of the worst in the developed world, that is no choice at all.

All of which brings us back to Hillary Clinton. As someone whose political views have slowly moved leftwards since her time in Arkansas and the White House, perhaps she saw nothing wrong with prison labor back in the 1980s. Perhaps she did and nevertheless submitted to “tradition.” Maybe she and Bill had a screaming row about it. We’ll never know. Regardless, for someone so apparently committed to criminal justice reform and ending mass incarceration, the use of workers who are essentially modern-day slaves is a bad look, to say the least.

If nothing else, the controversy around her happy recollection of the prison labor program in Arkansas has, for a brief moment, put prison labor back in the headlines. Sadly, though, it’ll no doubt just as quickly be displaced by whatever godawful thing that Donald Trump does next, and America will go back to happily consuming products made by modern-day slaves. If nothing else, though, you might think that the reaction of both Clinton and her supporters to this piece of her history might be along the lines of, “Damn, this is fucked up, I’m really shocked at this and I hope it’s something she looks back on with regret and disgust.” I expect if you asked Clinton herself this, you might well get that exact answer.

Her most avid supporters, though? Nope. On Twitter over the last couple of days, there’s been an awful lot of this:

Or this:

And so on.

This isn’t the reaction of all Clinton supporters, of course, but it does characterize what I really want to talk about in this essay: the idea of politics as fandom. Responses like those above are the sort of thing you’d associate more with the support of a sports team or a favorite artist than a politician. They indicate a world view wherein everything your favorite does is somehow explicable or excusable, and everything their opponents do is worthy of virulent condemnation.

This goes both ways, obviously: the people on Twitter who jump all over every perceived Clinton wrongdoing as evidence that she is some sort of evil witch who should be locked up forthwith are gleefully milking this for all it’s worth. For the record, in this writer’s opinion, those people are just as obnoxious as those who insist on presenting Hillary as some sort of flawless avatar of virtue.

In any case, it’s a natural reaction to root for whoever it is you root for, whether it’s in sport, or music, or politics, or whatever else. It’s also natural that we often support the politician with whom we identify most — especially in the context of a US Presidential primary or election, given the personality-focused nature of those contests. And god knows there’s been enough shit thrown at Hillary Clinton over the last couple of years. It’s understandable, then, that her supporters feel somewhat protective of her.

When it comes to politics, though, this kind of devotion is a reaction that we absolutely need to be conscious of and try to transcend. Politicians are not celebrities. They’re not people of who you become fans. To some extent, the politics of fandom is an extension of celebrity culture: politicians are presented, first and foremost, on the basis of their personalities. We saw the nadir of this with last year’s Republican primaries, wherein Donald Trump basically spent all his time shitting on his opponents’ perceived personal failings. If he discussed policy at all, it was only in the sense of vague promises that he’d get around to it at some point.

But politicians are the sum of their policies — nothing more, and nothing less. The politics of fandom is both asinine and dangerous. It invites people to judge politicians as “good” or “bad” depending on who they are, not what they do. It allows us to cast the people we don’t like as cartoonish figures who are entirely good or entirely evil, when in virtually every case — there are, of course, exceptions — politicians are an amalgam of good and bad. This is at least part of the reason for the polarized landscape of American politics, I think — if you think your opponent is flat-out evil, how can you engage with him or her?

In this case, if it was Donald Trump who’d been enjoying the prison labor of Arkansas, it’s not hard to imagine those defending Clinton to be just as enthusiastically condemning Trump. If it was Bernie Sanders, some of those condemning Clinton would be defending him. And so on. In every case, a situation that pretty much any liberal (or compassionate human being) would agree is objectively fucked up is presented as somehow OK because of the people involved.

But look, we have to be able to discuss issues — issues that might relate, however tangentially, to Hillary Clinton, or Bernie Sanders, or Donald Trump, or whoever — without those issues devolving into partisan shitfights. In this case, there are some people who are still salty at Clinton because of either the Democratic primary or the Presidential election and will use something, anything, like this to jump all over her. There are other people who think Hillary must be defended to the hilt over anything, even something as self-evidently indefensible as this.

The rest of us, hopefully, can get away from the idea of politics as fandom and say, “Damn, look at this passage from HRC’s book. Isn’t it terrible that penal labor is used in the goddamn governor’s mansion in Arkansas? Doesn’t that show how pervasive this awful system is? Maybe people should be talking about it!”

Clearly, a world in which people are able to calmly and objectively evaluate a politician’s policies, without recourse to personal sympathies or the lack thereof, is an impossible ideal. Humans don’t work that way. But it’s nevertheless an ideal toward which we should strive. Until we do, we’re doomed to an eternity of Twitter fights, and god knows that no-one deserves that.
