Are the articles an example of post-truth reality?

Using an inter-sectional lens, does a persons’ gender, race/ethnicity, class, sexuality, religion, nationality status impact how they are being portrayed in the media?

Do you notice differences and/or similarities when comparing both articles?
Is one source more credible than the others? How credible do you consider the sources to be with a rating of 10 (perfectly credible) to 1 (not at all credible)? On what are you basing this rating?

After comparing information from both articles, what do you ultimately believe to be the truth about your issue?
