BiasedABC
I'm pleased to be able to report that it's not just in this country seemingly sane people can find bias in the least biased of stories merely because they have misread them. It happens in America too (from Den Beste)"And even the good news in the first sentence isn't reported quite straight.
'The Pentagon says the reduction in individual attacks against Americans is dramatic — down by 50 percent since the capture of Saddam Hussein'.
See, it isn't that the number of attacks is down, it's that the Pentagon claims that the number of attacks is down. One can almost see the exchange of knowing looks between the reporter and her non-stupid readers: We all know that the Pentagon is probably lying about this, right? Wink-wink, nudge-nudge?"
