Think, for a moment, about where you get your news. Maybe you leave for work each morning with black fingertips from the smudged ink of a newspaper. Maybe the dulcet delivery of your local NPR host is the only thing that gets you through your commute. Maybe you’re a bona fide Twitter addict. Or maybe, like half of American adults, you learn about the world through your television.

Though its popularity is waning, TV news is still a big deal. Just last year, a Pew study found that cable news was considered the “most helpful” source of information for the 2016 election. It’s especially popular among older generations, which also happens to be the group that’s most likely to turn out on election day. Given the importance of TV news and the accusations of partisan bias often lobbed at cable networks, it’s worth exploring what the news we’re getting from TV actually is and how that changes depending on what channel you watch.

To do that, we examined chyrons (the text at the bottom of the screen) from three major cable networks: CNN, Fox, and MSNBC. By looking at the words and phrases used between August 25, 2017, and January 21, 2018, we can get a sense of the differences in how each network covers the news and how a viewer’s perception of the world might change depending on which one they watch.
