Ecuador vs. Chevron

The two videos were very different in the way that they provided information for the viewers. In the first video by CBS, both sides of the story were shown and a person from the Ecuador and Chevron side were presented with little or no bias. This video also provided clips of the contamination so the viewers could see first hand what was going on and how bad it really was. The second video by Chevron in comparison was very different. The Chevron video seemed to carry a lot of bias and made it seem that the people in Ecuador had no idea what was going on. They made it seem like the contamination was their fault and it wasn't as bad as it really was. The chevron story also is not up to par with the Murrow Standard. Chevron hired an ex-reporter and made it seem that the news clip was news in itself, even though it was presented with what Chevron deemed as important to their case. In the end CBS's news was presented in a little or no biased way and presented both sides of the story so the viewer could make their own informed decision on whose fault it was and who should clean up the mess. The Chevron video was highly biased and only concentrated on making Ecuador's video seem untrue.
