Kelly Clarkson's fight over a $15,000 singing bird goes viral
Kelly Clarkson has been feuding on social media with an upscale Brooklyn toy store, Art of Play, after she says they treated her like she couldn't afford a $15,000 animatronic singing bird. The store has offered a different version of events.
Fox News
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the item as a Kelly Clarkson feud with a Brooklyn toy store, and both mention the $15,000 mechanical bird. 60 Minutes is the only one that summarizes both sides of the exchange, saying Clarkson posted about feeling judged and that the store said the bird was not for sale. Fox News instead presents it as a segment topic on The Will Cain Show and does not add any extra reporting in the extract.
