Exactly the same word for word. I don't know how to do a screen capture, but someone help me out here.

6. Thanks very much for that

This really shows how the echo chamber of the news works.

3. Are they both off the AP wire?

4. CNN's story carries a CNN byline,

with the statement "Associated Press contributed to this report."

Fox's home page uses the dupe headline, but the link inside is straight AP.

It seems like that's not the AP headline (AP's headline on the Fox site reads: Protests Over Muhammad Caricatures Continue; Four Killed

So CNN wrote their story and chose their headline; Fox carried an AP story but chose their own headline for the front page. Just unimaginative, I guess?

5. Guess so. It makes for a great cable news sound bite, I bet
