Follow up: The Man Behind The Mosque

1. Cable news attended debates, rallies, and other events for both parties and interviewed historians as well as those effected by 9/11. There was no report on funding. 
2. Pamela Geller.
3. The news mainly focused on victims or families of victims of 9/11 and their feelings and stories, rather than factual information. 
4. No.
5. Cable news relied on non-muslim sources(historians). They reported on the history of Islam, however they molded the facts to change people's ideas of the purpose of the mosque. 
6. Ownership of a media source is crucial to bias in coverage. Owners can control what the media source shares, as well as how they present the information, in order to make an impression on viewers to support their opinions. 
7. Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal.
8. Cable news probably stopped covering the story because there was no clear end in sight. It's such a controversial topic, and they were getting nowhere with both sides having such strong arguments.
