Media Bias Example

Here a really good example of media with different biases spinning the same story different ways:

The Justice Department's decision to drop almost all of its investigations into CIA torture was headlined like this on Democracy Now!: "Justice Dept Drops 99 of 101 Cases Against CIA."

At the New York Times (7/1/11), though, the glass was 2 percent full: "U.S. Widens Inquiries Into 2 Jail Deaths."
