In the case of that story in your post, maybe it was thought of this way.cnredd said:There could be a battle in Iraq...300 terrorists are killed...Three marines wounded...
FoxNews's headline - "Terrorists dealt major blow"
CNN's headline - "US casualties rising"
The difference is obvious, but they BOTH tell the truth...
CNN: In thier headline of "US Casualties Rising" Maybe CNN believes that the lost lives of US forces deserve an important mention.
Fox: In thier headline of "Terrorists Dealt major blow" maybe they, for some reason, don't find the fact that American forces died as long as a good amount of terrorists were killed.
Personally, I think the lives of the US forces deserve more mention than the terrorists, The thought of Fallen Soldiers shouldn't be thrown aside just because we killed the terrorists. The men who were sacrificed in order for the operation to succeed deserve more than a last minute mention.
Ive always hated it when they say, "59 Terrorists were killed today in an operation in Fallujah that was aimed at weakening the insurgency stronghold in the city.... 3 US troops died in the battle.
The troops deserve more than a last minute mention, like they are "lives" in a video game or something.
