the LA Times today couches a news report in terms that sound like they’re cheering for those who are killing Americans:
Coordinated Suicide Strikes Kill 13 in Iraq
Car bombers attack in the holy city of Karbala. The victims are six coalition soldiers and seven Iraqis. More than 170 are wounded....Although the number of daily attacks may be down by U.S. military count, Saturday’s incursion in relatively peaceful Karbala sounded a roar of defiance.
Not too subtle, is it? “By U.S. military count,” says the Times, as if hoping that the U.S. military count is false and the attacks are really greater. And that “roar of defiance”—that’s just standard cheering-them-on rhetoric. Whose side is the Times on?
