One Story....Bias Shows in Headlines....
The long-awaited, and much maligned (pre-release) story on Iraq progress is due out today. It will show progress on 8 points....no progress on 8 points and mixed results on two points.The vaunted Main Stream Media (Read antique media) headlines the story.....BUT their online headlines seem as if related to different stories......
FOX - "Report: Progress in Iraq, 8 of 18 key benchmarks met."
ABC - "Bush's Iraq Progress Report shows No Progress on Key Points"
MSNBC - "Mixed Review, Report says Iraq Government Fails on half of Benchmarks."
CBS - "White House to give Mixed Review on Iraq."
CNN - "Iraq Benchmarks Report Shows Progress at 50-50."
How does the same story generate such disparate headlines? Bias....Is the glass half full or half empty?
FOX, CBS & CNN seem similar.......However, notice the words leaping off the page for MSNBC (FAILS on half) and ABC (No Progress on Key Points)
We got no media bias......Har Har!
