Bias? No Chance (Part MMMIV)

-
File this one under "shake your head in disgust"... because that is what you will do.

All you really need to see is the headline... and the scare-quotes.

US Forces Kill Around 13 'Terrorists'

Now, go and read the short article. It is a veritable clinic on how to write a biased piece of "journalism." The only time they call the monsters "terrorists" is when it is in a quote from a U.S. military person. The rest of the time, they are called "suspects" and "militants" who are opposing the evil occupation.

A few years ago, this would have been staggering to me... not so much anymore. How sad is that?
