Abstract
- In January 2016, Iran detained ten U.S. sailors who had drifted into Iranian territory, releasing them fifteen hours later after intense diplomatic activity. This paper explores the discursive choices evident over three days of broadcast and cable coverage to illuminate takenfor-granted ideological stances common to several of the reports, with particular emphasis on two clips from CNN and Fox News that bear significant formal distinctions concealing close substantive similarities. The analysis calls into question dominant views on the ideological positioning of cable networks and the discursive emphases among varying journalistic formats, with implications for U.S. domestic politics and global relations.
