Sometime after 10pm last night, I turned on one of the news channels and found out that Saddam had been executed. CNN even had it’s slogan up - “Death of a Dictator”. So, I checked out the websites, and it’s somewhat humorous how different news sites report the news.


At MSNBC, it was pretty straight forward. The guy was executed, a solemn picture, nothing special.


At CNN, it’s like an American entertainer or politician just died, with the birth and death dates next to his picture. You almost expect to see a headline to right saying something like “a nation mourns.”


And at Fox, they appeared to be going for a more menacing picture, and a caption that would appear at home on the cover of the National Enquirer.



Make of those what you will.

    Guess that is why I read Foxnews.
