AB The METOO movement (or #METOO) has been widely reported by American media outlets.Politicians and social activists take advantage of this social movement as a great momentum topromote political, economic and social policies in multiple areas especially the ones related towomen’s rights. In turn, the movement gained even more extensive media exposure. However,as people enter the #METOO era, the general public and media start to split into different campsin terms of their opinion about this social movement.In this paper, we can observe how two American news outlets with opposing partisan leanings-CNN and FOX News- use different linguistic devices and strategies to report the METOOmovement, its associated events as well as actors and participants involved. By conducting alinguistic analysis of news discourse produced by both outlets, the signals of their respectiveattitudes or opinions can be detected.Corpus linguistic (CL) analysis and critical discourse analysis (CDA) as synergetic approachesare presented to investigate news discourse produced by CNN and FOX News; the corpusbasedstudy addresses different grammatic categories with a primary focus on the noun, whileCDA or more specifically van Dijk’s news discourse model is applied in a case study of aspecific news event to present a systematic and critical interpretation of news texts at differentdimensions starting from the microstructural and macrostructural dimension (i.e. textualstructure) up to superstructural (i.e. news schemata) and rhetorical dimension.
