CNN.com vs. iReport.com

Though iReport is a subsidy of CNN, there are many differences between the two sites. The first difference that i notices was that the stories on ireport are more opinionated where as the stories on CNN are more Unbiased.

The next thing I noticed is that CNN has more significant stories on the front page such as the economic crisis where as iReport has stories about the closing of a Conney Island roller coaster and opinions of the new Facebook.

I noticed that on CNN, it has articles about why tomorrows Presidential debate should go on as opposed to iReport which asks iReporters to share their opinion of what should happen.

On CNN it contains stories about how the government should spend the 700 Billion dollars to save Banks, lenders, mortgage firms etc. On iReport, the iReporters talk about how the governent should give the money directly to the people.
