The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. — Samuel Adams

06 December, 2001: "Left to Right...(media)"

By Kathy Kinsley

Steven Den Beste had an interesting article on media slant this morning (though he didn't call it that). He compared headlines from AP, Reuters and BBC on what Colin Powell said to Turkish allies. That made me a bit curious, and I've collected the headlines for that news on all the (online) major international news sources.

  • Powell Says No Plans for Iraq Attack -- Reuters
  • Powell denies Iraq in U.S. sights -- CNN
  • Powell rules out early Iraq strikes -- BBC
  • Powell says Bush has yet to decide on Iraq -- AP
  • No decision on Iraq: Powell -- MSNBC
  • Powell: Iraq Remains a Concern -- Fox News

The bodies all basically reported the same thing (that Powell said Bush had not yet decided), but the headlines show the slant (MSNBC and AP got it right).
