Here is a look at some of the same headlines from different news outlets. I like to look at the headlines from what their political affiliation is perceived as. For example, Fox News is a Republican mouth piece, CNN is more liberal. MSNBC is always a Republican wanting to be a liberal, or at least has the appearance of a liberal. NPR is the third party always making sense, but no one is listening. The BBC is kinda a foreign dignitary speaking to us - a different view point. I added a newspaper to the mix just for fun.

Pakistan is still big news with the 24 hour news networks. CNN portraits us as Michael Bluth and Pakistan is Buster and Job - looks like we have to take care of our little blacksheep brother. Of course the conspirators have come out in full force with the claim that Pakistan is a "dry run" for what they want to do with the US.

MSNBC fingers the protesters while Fox gives the push to Rice. The BBC gives probably the most accurate headline with the US warning over the emergency. NPR has other news to report for now.

Fox is a good little GOP talking point. Eugenics and Giuliani. Many people forget that George Sr. was in charge of Eugenics during the Reagan years.

If you just scan the headlines you will see that George Bush Jr had some talks with Turkey about the rebels. But if you read MSNBC you are comforted to know that the PM was happy with the talks.

That's it for today, stop back tomorrow for more headlines.
