Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....
One form of bias (or selective wording, if bias is too strong a term here) I always find interesting is the difference in reporting between U.S. and international editions of several media sources. For example, "Bush Meets with Pope" vs. "Bush Meets Pope, Faces Protests" (as seen on cnn.com recently)...

Deaf mute gets new hearing in killing
House passes gas tax onto senate
Stiff opposition expected to casketless funeral plan
Two convicts evade noose, jury hung
William Kelly was fed secretary
Safety experts say school bus passengers should be belted
Quarter of a million Chinese live on water
Farmer bill dies in house
Kids make nutritional snacks
Typhoon rips through cemetery; hundreds dead

Queen Mary having bottom scraped Sounds painful. NJ judge to rule on nude beach Remind me to never be in his courtroom. Child's stool great for use in garden Stinky! Dr. Ruth to talk about sex with newspaper editors Well she would know, wouldn't she? Lol. Soviet virgin lands short of goal again Stranded on third again, huh? Organ festival ends in smashing climax I don't want to talk about someone's organ. Grandmother of eight makes hole in one Ouch. Wonder what the kid did? Deaf mute gets new hearing in killing Guess those screams fixed the problem..... House passes gas tax onto senate Bet they blamed the dog. Stiff opposition expected to casketless funeral plan Soft dead bodies stink, so I hope rigor has set in Two convicts evade noose, jury hung They jury should be hung. All the evidence is right there and they let the convicts go. William Kelly was fed secretary Couldn't let him starve, could they? Safety experts say school bus passengers should be belted Yep, smack them around a little . Quarter of a million Chinese live on water The rest live on land Farmer bill dies in house Tragic anytime a farmer dies. Kids make nutritional snacks Coming soon from Lector Snacks Inc. Typhoon rips through cemetery; hundreds dead Just not buried anymore. Chef throws his heart into helping feed needy Well I guess if they are hungry enough..... Man struck by lightening faces battery charge Keeps going, and going, and going..... Juvenile court to try shooting defendants Finally! Definitely no more repeat defendants Reagan wins on budget, but more lies ahead He's a politician. What did you expect?
