Classic Fox News Slant

Cecil Vortex

ABC, CNN, MSNBC news sites all lead with the assassination of the head of the Iraqi Governing Council. Their headlines read....

abnews.com: "Shocking Loss."
msnbc.com: "Major Iraq Setback."
cnn.com: "Iraqi Governing Council Chief Sworn in After Killing."

Meanwhile over on foxnews.com the headline trumpets:
"Chemical Agents Found in Iraq."

In the immortal words of Stan "the man" Lee: 'nuff said.

You get the feeling that even if the soldiers had been killed, instead of sickened, the headline would have been the same.

In 1963, thery would have said:

"Cuba-Linked Subversive Nabbed in Dealy Plaza Shooting!"
