Repost: Different Yahoo Stories in US and Canada |
|
With properly working links this time I posted this to LBN and it was labeleled a dupe, it did have some of the same info but some of the information was very different. The US version leaves out the Iraqi Prime Minister's critisizm of US troops. US http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050710/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_050710193813Canada http://news.yahoo.com/s/cpress/20050710/ca_pr_on_wo/iraq/nc:2384

4. Actually, the wording is slightly different... |
|
In the U.S. version, the prime minister "complains."
In the Canadian version, he "criticizes."

5. I read here this week that the AP... |
|
has a new policy of writing two different stories on one event and it was up to each newspaper to decide which one to pick up.

6. American News has always been a little special. Now it is even |
|
more so. They have to report to the USA by reinforcing American Myths. Nobody else can swallow it.

8. "reinforcing American myths" |
|
spot on.
We live in a reality created by our government and media. It's not the "real world." And they can't let too much of the "real world" seep into a report (press release) because it damages belief in their consructed reality.
