Look no further than Tuesday's developments about the news regarding Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, admitting his guilt in one courtroom, while the president's former campaign manager Paul Manifort was being convicted in another. 

I wondered how the two networks would handle these stories, although I was pretty sure CNN would be almost salviating, doing wall-to-wall coverage about these stunning developments. And sure enough, they did, with panel after panel practically impeaching Trump on the air over and over again.

But I was far more curious as to how Fox would approach the story, since it involved a possible death blow for their reputed hero. I wasn't expecting what they did, although it shouldn't have surprised me in the end. Instead of leading with this story (or in this case, stories) about the court decisions and what they could mean to the most powerful elected official in the world, Fox came on the air at 7 PM and lead with a story from Iowa, about a missing college girl whose body had been found after weeks of searching. 

To be fair, this was a national story and got a lot of attention in the American media. But it's why they chose it as their top story that speaks volumes. Turns out the guy accused, who apparently led cops to her body, is an undocumented illegal immigrant who should never have been in the U.S. in the first place. 

You can see where this coverage is heading. "Who cares about some court cases when the hordes are invading illegally through our porous borders, killing our defenceless and innocent children?" It's a compelling story, to be sure, but it's not more important than the court cases that could lead to the downfall of an American president. 

Not that it comes as a surprise, but if you ever needed an example how the two networks view their editorial stances, this was definitely it.
