How Fox News characterize a story

Some woman tries to use her political position to influence the police to help her daughter. It's all caught on a dash cam, goes viral (not sure how the video got out) and it's written up in several news stories. This is how CBS news headlined it.

Video shows Port Authority official who abruptly resigned cursing at officers


And this is how Faux News headlined it:

Video shows ex-Clinton aide in profanity-laced confrontation with cops


Furthermore, at the end of the story, this is how they justified their headline.

Turner was appointed to the Port Authority by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. A Democrat, she had previously served on finance committees for Hillary Clinton, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine.


That's right, the person who appointed her to the position she is trying to abuse is GOP Gov. Christie (notice they don't mention that he is republican). But since she served on various finance committees, she is an "aide" to Hillary Clinton.
