Tone Is Everything

A journalist doesn't need to come out and say what their political leanings are. All someone has to do is read one of their articles and it becomes crystal clear where he stands just by reading the words he chooses. Here are some of my favorite quotes from this article.

"Their protest came as David Miliband trumpeted the war as a "remarkable victory" and George Bush made the astonishing claim that the Arab world is rising up against al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden - while bin Laden himself threatened Europe in a new audio message."

" The campaigners, from Brighton-based Smash EDO, claim the company's products mean it has played a crucial part in acts of aggression by coalition forces in the Middle East. "

"Their protest came as the still-free Osama bin Laden threatened Europe with more attacks. "

"With the same kind of cowboy swagger he showed while unleashing the invasion of Iraq five years ago, President Bush claimed yesterday that the "noble" war had been an "undeniable" success."

I could go on and on, but you get my point

One of the news feeds I get on my Yahoo page is from Reuters.

Man, talk about a slanted news organization.
