Fox News

I could not find the original clip of the Fox News report. From the clip above you can see that in the reporting on the Democratic National Convention speech by Elizabeth Warren Fox News filtered some parts of the speech. In edited version only shows that Warren was making claims about the system without any proof. Although in the actual speech she gives evidence as to why people feel the system is rigged against them. This can be related to the second filter where the channel chooses which information to highlight in order to please their financial supporters.

Another point that is made in the clip the questions asked to guest. The anchor asked different levels of questions to each guest based on their political affiliation. This can be see as being partisan and filtering information to fit their goal.
